Odds of passing emissions in Phoenix, az
I have a 2011 bmw 335d and I already received a vrsf downpipe for my car. I was planning on ordering an ATM exhaust, race pipe and doing a Malone tune but I went to check the emissions requirements for my city and I guess I read the wrong info the first time. Apparently I need to test once a year and it says they do a "smoke opacity test." Basically meaning they measure how dark the smoke from the exhaust is? What are the odds of passing this if I did the emissions delete? I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get the answer I'm hoping for but thanks in advance for the help! Btw I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. Are there any other 335d owners in Phoenix?

Your chances arent too good from what ive heard. Im in Mesa myself and just recently bought a tuned and deleted 335d, luckily my cars are registered up in Havasu so no emissions required. Tho I have considered paying the $14 to get it tested anyways just for curiosity sake.

I have talked to a few deleted owners who have passed the test. With that said, they are probably getting stricter. In Sept 2020, they spent 2 minutes visually inspecting my stock 09 and sent me on my way with no throttle pressing. I never left the car. Things may be different now that Covid is going away.
The reality is a deleted M57 smells like a diesel. A stock one does not. Any half decent inspector will be able to tell it is deleted with a simple sniff test at the rear of the car. |

Good news Arizona does not have an emissions test for the 335d. You will get a directors certificate which is an automatic pass. Just pay a small fee for the paperwork and you are good to go.

So I wonder if they changed things. Prior to Dieselgate my 09 TDI had to be tested every year. That would be awesome if they did change things. I am on here still researching, have not pulled the trigger on buying a 335D yet. Please follow up because this would definitely sway my decision to get one.

Delayed response on emissions
I have owned my 2011 335d for just under 5 years. Every year I go to my required emissions test, the guys all talk for 5 minutes before some manger comes over and gives me a certificate and sends me on my way. I have been to a test center on the west side of town…51 Ave and Virginia and near the airport…both did the same thing…no test and I stayed in my car each time.
That said, I have had no deletes and no tuning…but strongly considering putting some money in to get everything juiced up. Anyone have a Suggestion for best place to go in town for this type of work? Thanks |

Later this year I will need to get tested in Tucson and was wondering if you got the certificate again on your last test? Last year they said to me that things will likely change soon but they have no word as to when.
