I see what you are trying to say perfectly well.

You are still missing the point. It doesn't matter what the M4 has for emissions. It is approved for that level.


Do you think there is just one maximum allowed limit that applies across the board to all cars? There is a max that is set but that doesn't mean that each and every model is permitted to go to that max. It just means they can not build anything that goes over. Each individual model has it's own approved range and it can not exceed that. Exceeding the approved range is what VW was caught doing. They didn't even come close to meeting the overall max but were well over what they claimed to be and were approved to sell.
