I had a reflash(GIAC) recently, stage 1 and I did a pretest on my 07 E90 and I am pleased to announce that my car will pass the sniffer as well as the obdII test!Best compromise for me:I get great extra power,legally,reliably and without too much of a traction issue!

Because they alter timing,Vanos and other things under load!
The California ASM test is done under load!
My Hydrocarbons were slightly up as a result.
07 vehicles have o PPM of hydrocarbons on well maintained cars like mine.
