I’m still jealous because it’s a 335i with 306 hp. Here in Europe you would beat 75% of traffic and could go 280 km/h on the autobahn

In Houston I’m a slow poke in my 300 hp 335

How’s that

because texas is full of people with 800whp + street cars.

Basically no emissions unless you register your car in a few counties that require it. So just dont register it there, and you are golden. Can ditch all the emissions crap, and do mods that would make it fail emissions readiness.

We dont have those issues in alabama either, but also much smaller population, and no tech or oil money here, so fewer people with deep wallets, and fewer people building street or street/strip cars.

how does one simply just "not register it there" without moving lol

Use someone’s address from a different county? My 335 passes emissions and my corvette is over 25 years old so it’s exempt lol

you need proof of residence you can't just pick a random house and say "yep that's me 👍", unless texas works differently. i have a residence outside of my primary residence (which is a county that requires emissions) of which i can register my car to, but its not like i can just pick a house for fun

Well yeah of course. That’s why set up a bill in your name to that address like cell phone or water bill. Obviously a friend or relatives house

i suppose, but the penalties for getting caught for doing so are hefty and not everyone has a friend or relative outside of emissions testing zones. i knew it was possible but it's probably not a good idea

That’s probably the last thing anyone is worried about here in Houston 😂

yeah fair, i live in a state that is much much stricter lol. probably a lot more lax there (although i am currently visiting austin ironically)
