    Default A clean machine

    So I take the car in a couple of days ago for the emission test. When finished the guy gets the report out of the test machine and he seems perplexed. I get worried and ask if I passed. He tells me it has been a long time since he saw readings as low as mine. It looks to me like they can't get any lower. I guess I'm getting pretty good combustion and my injectors are in good shape.



    Me thinks this car is a keeper

    When i got my emissions tested, there was a Ferrari in front of me. I rolled down the front windows and opened the sunroof just to hear the wonderful sound of its exhaust BTW, im in Washington too, and my car easily passed with flying colors as well.

    haha, the guy that tested mine last month said he had never seen a 16 year old car pass with such great numbers.

    Must be that miracle M30 engine.

    Might your car be running lean for some reason? My 535i posted 38 HC last time through. I'd have to check the sheet for the other numbers.
