I was away on vacation, just got back, but a family member of mine took it for inspection and the car passed. I installed the spacers and did not remove the JB4. Not sure if the spacers worked, only way to find out is to remove the JB4 and see if the CEL returns to the dash.

Then again, they are probably trying to limit thier liability by not offering something that would deceive the emissions standard as that can carry legal repercussions. I will contact my boy who runs a shop specializing in these things and pm you some advice/info tomorrow.
Yea i was pretty annoyed. When I had an E92 N54 they were great but since I got the F10 N55, I feel like the ignored step child. Maybe someone ruined it for us all or maybe they are just covering their behinds for some reason.
