I have a S54 swapped 98 M3. I've been to the CA smog ref and passed the visual & emissions tests, now the ref wants a letter from a dealer that says the calibration IDs and CVNs are valid. My swap is completely legit and the IDs/CVNs do match the factory 0pa/0da files but the ref says he has no way to verify and wants a letter from a dealer. Can anyone help me out?
Update: please disregard, I've got it covered.

Bump, help needed. Nothing shady here, I just need a letter that says these calibration IDs and CVNs are correct for a 2003 M3 (which they are). Will gladly paypal $100 if someone can help me out.

BTW, I'm asking here as I called both dealers near me and can't get a service advisor to talk to me about it.
must it be a dealer?
What about Bavarian Motorsports in Milpitas?
Wat did that other guy on here that passed the CARB so for that? He never mentioned that in his thread
98 Estoril ///M3 4/6
S54 swap CSL
Ref says it must be a dealer, no indy.

Yea, I know of 2 other people that have passed. There are general guidelines but is up to the individual ref's discretion to some extent.
I'm working on a cluster swap now and will probably pay a dealership to flash my DME & provide the paperwork in the next week or two.

where did you go?
go to another ref?
try Livermore, or Sacramento..... ?
I'm near Sacramento and went to the American River College ref. The guy there isn't very nice to deal with and was even a no-show for one of my appointments.
I scheduled another appointment at Cosumnes and the ref supervisor called me to say they will be expecting paperwork from a dealer re-flash as well, so I cancelled it. Hopefully I can get in to a dealer next week and call this done soon.
