This is a very informative thread.... glad it returned cause I missed it a year ago. A friend gave me title to his 2004 BMW 545 w/ 110 miles on it. He moved to Maui and had cars out there already. I tried to smog the thing and no go. So registration is out dated and I've got a primary vehicle so it sits in my garage leaking oil. I put a new battery in it. I take it around the hood once a mth to keep things moving. No idea what I'll do with a car that won't pass inspection. Took it to a trusted mechanic I've used to fix my broke girls rides over the years and he laughed saying he doesn't touch BMWs but referred me to a BMW specialist down the street. I left it with them for a day and paid him to survey it.... well, it kinda needs appx $6500 in repairs and that really just takes care of all the oil leaking it does from what I read on his estimate sheet. His quote on SMOG is "Multiple fault codes pulled including Catalytic converter conversion bank 2 fault/ secondary air faults at bank 1/ bank 2. variable intake system plausibility."
What do you think fellas? Drop it off on a side road past Tijuana with keys in ignition? I know my friend left me this thing with good intensions but spending cash on this pit makes no sense to me. Inmate feedback appreciated..... I always miss some details on chicken shit like this situation and we got some techs on thread.
