This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the BMW Performance Power Kit Retrofit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of BMW Group. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the devices, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of these devices using ény identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board.

7. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of these devices may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This exemption is issued based on submitted emissions test data from BMW Group on a 2010 model year BMW X6 xDrive50i 4.4L (Test Group ABMXVO4.4E71) certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (LEV II ULEV) and Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) standards: Federal Test Procedure: NMOG CO NOX Standards (g/mi) 0.055 2.1 0.07 Device (g/mi) with df‘s applied 0.024 0.2 0.03 SFTP (USO6 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.60 11.8 Device (g/mi) 0.15 2.0 Test results showed that the BMW Performance Power Kit Retrofit when installed on the vehicle did not cause exhaust emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the Cold Start Federal Test Procedure. The test vehicle was not required to be tested under the SFTP SCO3 cycle because that cycle is run at relatively low engine speeds whereas the BMW Performance Power Kit Retrofit only impacts the vehicle at higher engine speeds. This Executive Order is also based on On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing. The BMW Performance Power Kit Retrofit when installed did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring.
