According to computer data I would think.

I've seen items like OEM trailer hitches suddenly available after dealers inventory their stock. Bet there's a few knocking around that aren't in the BMW dealer computer database.

Does that mean it shouldn't have passed?

I have no doubt it came from the national database.

Just means my vigilance/100% DIYing over the past 4 yrs has resulted in a 182k mile vehicle that still passes. All repairs post 100k have been in my FL & TX garages, makes me wonder if I missed anything at inspection time.

My AC control module was on the fritz, so I removed it and opened it up to find the fan and sensor diode to be full of lint and dirt, cleaned it and now the AC works great!
