Just recieved the letter from bmw north america. It says there is a problem with the software. if i were to to get a smog check i more than likely not pass. the engine control module needs to be upgraded with the latest obd software. takes about 1 day ( more like 2-3 days )

Skipper,

Did they give you a loaner? Or you have to wait?
