Oh wonderful california smog.....Had a frustrating few minutes at the local AAA smog shop. The guy called me over and asked about the BMW Performance Intake.

me:its from BMW its fine.
him:He said no thats not the one that came with the car from the factory, right?
me: No
him: then I can't test it. I need an EO (executive order) number.
me: So if I find this EO number you will test it?
him: No you need the paperwork and a sticker to put on the car
me: How do I get that?
him: You need to go to BMW and get the paper work and order the sticker. Or put the old intake back on the car and come back.
me: Just FYI You guys smogged this car 2 years ago and it wasn't an issue then
him: They're getting more strict as of last year.

Little more back and forth, but he wouldn't budge. His co worker he called over was making sounds like he would've let it go but felt the need to back up his co worker "it'd be nice to have the sticker"

So I left. BMW wouldn't sell this thing in California if it wasn't legal right? I bought it used so I didn't get the sticker. Think BMW has these things?
