2003 BMW 330I Passing Smog Check Small Crack Windshield?

Hello I have a 2003 BMW 330I. I need to know if it will pass the California smog check because of a small crack in windshield?
Answer:

Inspection of the windshield is not part of the California smog check process, and your 2003 BMW 330I can pass the smog check with its windshield cracked. Having a cracked windshield on the other hand is vehicle code violation. The driver of the vehicle can be stopped by law enforcement and be issued a ticket. posted by SmogTips Support

Having a cracked windshield is a vehicle code violation. The driver of a vehicle with a crack in the windshield can be stopped by law enforcement and be issued a ticket, however there is no effect as far as vehicle registration. You can get your 2003 BMW 330I registered in California with a cracked windshield. posted by SmogTips Support
