I'm looking for recommendations for a Ca. repair shop that can repair and smog my euro m635. Has high NOX readings but runs great with 100k mi. I'm pretty sure a good vintage BMW shop could do it but there are few experts left it seems. I talked to Dinan and Turner and they were completely useless. Bay area preferred but I can go anywhere.
Thx
Phil

Re: M635 smog repair
With due respect your asking companies who make performance
parts about being smog compliant?
Your right, your only hope is to find an older BMW guy who knows
this older technology. Most techs nowadays weren't even born when these cars were manufactured.
Maybe one of these shops can help.

Re: M635 smog repair
Maybe give Griffin Motorwerks in Berkeley a call and ask them if they have any ideas for your smog.

Re: M635 smog repair
He did me good with my M635 smog issues.
Eric came into a low mileage m635 from one of his customers n former PSF member when he moved to Hawaii n did not want to take car with him. Eric sold it to EAG n they got mucho dollars.
He knows these older BMW's
Had a stroked e28 535 if I remember.
Arnold is probably a good bet to get it done too or knows someone who can in BAY AREA.
