Arranging the work for the 5 Series
For an emissions test on the 2000 BMW 5 Series, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop; the work is done there, not by CarmaCars. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.8L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
A short checklist
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Let us know
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request emissions test
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
