Emissions requirements/caps Akrapovic

L///M3 · 06-15-2020, 05:52 AM

Hi guys, I’m moving to Australia from overseas and hope to bring my E92 with me. Shipping is affordable, I’m hoping I can get under the LCT threshold (2011 zcp, 32,000 kms). I have gotten import approval just working out compliance plates, import declarations biosecurity requirements etc...

Question I have for anyone living in QLD is, are emissions tests required? I’ve got an akrapovic evo titanium fitted and it does not pass emissions where I’m from... so if necessary I’ll ship my original exhaust as well to swap when doing tests (pain in the arse though)

Look forward to linking up with some owners in QLD!

Should be ok if your akrapovic have 200cell cats but if I’m you I will ship with the stock mid pipe to be safe.

Bugger... I believe they are 100 cpsi at least that’s what spec sheet say. Does Australia require emissions tests (specifically Qld?)

I have custom made x-pipe and they told me all I need in Qld is 2x 100cell cats.
Not sure about emissions test

You will not pass emission without the stock exhaust, had a mate jump through hoops to get his e90 m3 past.

I haven't heard of emissions tests being done in Australia

There are lots of testing centers around Australia, the only way your going to pass is with a stock exhaust.

Lots have tried and failed.
