The upper lambda limit for this vehicle changed considerably between the 15th and 16th editions of the In Service Emissions Standards. The BMW dealer may well have seen quite a few cars with this engine, that strictly speaking, could not pass an MOT despite the vehicle having nothing wrong with it. In my experience, VOSA tends to sit on the fence when this kind of problem comes to light. Hence the 'cheating'.
