Make sure it has a CARB sticker before you go in for a smog check. ANY intake "modification" without the CARB sticker will be an immediate failure. If your new CP (intake) doesn't come with a CARB sticker, have a stock CP on hand for the smog check. Side note... Just got the registration notice for my 2014 535i. Even though a smog check should be required, a new law says all I need to do to is pay a $20 smog check fee; without getting a smog check! Can't tell me it's about mitigating pollution!!
Been there (not BMW), done that, had to reinstall the entire factory intake...
