Emissions test for the 2020 BMW i8
Your 2020 BMW i8 needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your i8 and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
One more step
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
