Evidently BMW has a problem with software in some of their cars that could mislead regulatory tests for pollutants. They say it’s all just a big mistake that some software like that was loaded into some 5 and 7-series vehicles. This is kinda funny since BMW loves to talk about how clean their diesel cars are. Mistake or not this isn’t a good look for them. I bet Volkswagen starts screaming for an investigation.



But BMW has so far been able to trumpet clean diesel credentials. After the KBA recently found no issues with a 3-series car that environmental activists had suggested might include a defeat device, development chief Klaus Froehlich stated baldly that “vehicles from the BMW group were not manipulated. Our diesel engines are clean.”
