Inherent in the design or not the fact that the cars performance is such that the emissions increase with decrease in performance due to normal function screams class action law suit!

If I was BMW USA I would be wondering what my liabilities and responsibilities are with respect to this issue.

Think about it, if enough carbon builds up that the car no longer functions and fails emissions testing....this could be very very bad.
Yeah...the Audi guys have been trying to do this for the longest time. It hasnt worked despite the fact that RS4s have been popping CELs and losing a quarter of their power within 30K miles due to carbon.
