Will an EAT cause me to fail an emissions test?

Right now, my car passes the Ontario e-test by a gigantic margin. I don't see how a chip could put me into the illegal zone, but I'm askin' anyway, just to be sure.

No. You'll be fine.

No. You'll be fine.

You should be fine. In my previous post today, I stated that I removed my chip for the smog test. I only did this to compare results. I had previously passed my test with the eat chip in, I was just curious. I also wanted to see if I could tell a difference after driving a couple years with the EAT chip in. I definitely could feel a difference. Now just waiting for gas to drop in price.

The only one I know that failed with an EAT on an E34, is here in Cali, a 540ia.

I asked Mark about it, and he didn't know why it didn't pass.

I would take mine out before I smog it to be sure, only because I have the same car and chip as the one that didn't pass and I am in Cali.

But you should be fine.
