Really?
I've seen pics of the InJen intake w/CARB stickers on them and the guys at ModBargins also told me that it was approved.
Injen lists this CARB EO#476-5 with Part SP1125 for the 2007-2009 335i. And, it's on CARB's list of approved InJen intakes BUT there's a confusing exclusion in the certification:
EO: D-476-5 View PDF
EO Date: 2009-08-31
Manufacturer Name: Injen Technology Co., LTD
Device: Cyborg Intake System
Device Type: Air Filter / Intake Modification
SP1125 2007-2009 BMW 335i 3.0L 6 Cyl. (excludes LEV2, SULEV, test group #7BMXV03.0N51 and #8BMXV03.0N51)
See:

Some people are taking the exclusion to mean that all 335i's are excluded, but that makes no sense. Why would they list the 2007-2009 335i as eligible for the exemption and then add an exclusion that revokes the exemption from all 335i's at the same time? The only explanation seems to be that the exclusion applies only to 335i's w/a N51 engine, since "N51" is the only thing specifically noted in the wording of the exclusion and that the exclusion does not apply to 335i's w/a N54 engine. So, if you have a 2009 335i N54, my guess is that the person at InJen who told you that the SP1125 intake did NOT have CARB approval was mistaken.
In any event, given this confusion, I'm REALLY glad that I did not buy one. Good luck!
