Your best option is to save up more money and get the Active Autowerke downpipe that is guaranteed to not throw a CEL. With that said, I understand getting the VRSF downpipe as it's about $1000 cheaper than the good one.

Also, ou can get a tune which would require about $2000 more in expenses or just live with the CEL.

Also worth noting that a VRSF catted downpipe will still stink a bit.

Is it correct that angled O2 spacers that used to work do not work now? I have them on my 550i and it took care of the CEL, but have read that they will not work on newer vehicles.

Switch to active autowerke catted or get a flash tune.

if you have emission testing in your state, switching to a flash tune won't help you pass it. the active autowerke downpipe is your best bet.
