Secondary Cats removed and BMW service
For those of you running a midpipe or catback with the secondary cats removed, has it been an issue when you take the car into BMW for an Oil Change?

I got tons of positive comments about how the car sounded with my psi midpipe from service team at Classic (now sewell) in Plano.

Thanks for the replys, having a US Spec car in the UK, and not being entirely familiar with the process, I did not want to get hit with an MOT failure during an oil change. Im thinking of taking it to a BMW Service center and not a dealer instead.

You can only fail an MOT if the car is being MOT tested. in the UK it is an annual test following it's 3rd anniversary of registration.
Although there is an emissions test, the vast majority of testing around the exhaust system is a visual check. You can for example gut the OPFs but leave them in place and it will pass. Of course gutting the OPFs would invalidate your warranty but at 3 years old, you may not care anyway. |
