How do the new smog regulations affect us 335i guys in California? What can we get away with? Who has had their cars tested while modified?

California only requires you to pass the OBD and visual tests I believe.

You can get away with pretty much anything if you're willing to pay and know the right places.

All this is true!

Funny how they did away with the only true test of whether or not a vehicle is polluting excessively.

Who cares if it the check engine light is on, or if it has an aftermarket intake. As long as it's not polluting then what's the problem. Isn't that the point of the smog test?

Unbelievable.
