Emissions test: how we help
For an emissions test on the 2018 BMW M, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your M, have it ready for the shop. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Make a request
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
