if you got a timing light you would have no problems. i had high NOX at 25 mph and adjusted the timing to 8 degrees, the lowest you can set it at. and passed with no problems. the first time i went to get it smogged it was at 11-12 degrees.

LAst time when I smogged my M3 it was double max limit on one value.

New oil, plugs and airfilter.
A bottle of pass smog addative.
And last, but probably most important, ran the car pretty hard about 30 min, did five 0-60 runs outside the smog place and put it on the roller without any cool down time == glowing cats and passing exactly at the limit
