I did that after asking at the station manager. I made a quick 15 min run around the station and kept the engine on before passing again . I was allowed to repass immediately. But no succes , same result as the first test . They didnt ask to pay for the second passage.
Could you tell me what was the solution.

Morgan Belgium call me by phone. My car is one of the first to pass MOT. They never saw a plus four with émission problems. It is not possible to correct it with a laptop. They ask me to try again with super 98 iso 95 .And to switch the Windscreen heater and the heating on.

Surely switching the heating on would make the engine run even cooler!
The bad air filter position seems to be a common problem so I would not return for a test until it has been inspected and/or renewed.

Good result, as it's a bit worrying that a CX with all that modern BMW engine management struggles to pass an MOT

The mechanic doing the inspection told me that the data checked are more stringent with a modern engine.
