BMW and the diesel emissions allegations: What drivers need to know and how Advanpure can help

The latest allegations against BMW: A disturbing wake-up call

Following the recent revelations by Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), many BMW drivers find themselves in a situation of uncertainty and concern. The DUH accuses the renowned car manufacturer BMW of manipulating the exhaust emission values of its diesel vehicles and claims that it has discovered prohibited defeat devices and a so-called “thermal window” in several BMW models. This is a serious allegation that could have a significant impact on the automotive industry and BMW drivers in particular.

After extensive testing, DUH has determined that some BMW diesel models exceed the permissible limits for nitrogen oxide emissions by a factor of 49. These shocking numbers are a serious wake-up call for drivers and call into question the promises made by automakers.

BMW has responded to these allegations, claiming that they have already been refuted. They also claim that DUH is “deliberately provoking extreme readings with unrealistic driving situations.”

If these allegations turn out to be true, the impact on BMW drivers and the automotive industry as a whole could be significant. Vehicles that exceed nitrogen oxide emission limits could be shut down or forced to be retrofitted. In fact, DUH is demanding that the Federal Motor Transport Authority immediately decommission affected vehicles or order official hardware retrofits.

Volkswagen had installed special software in about 11 million diesel cars worldwide that was able to detect test conditions and then control engine power so that emissions were within permissible limits. In normal operation on the road, however, emissions significantly exceeded the legal limits.

In the past, the “Dieselgate” affair, in which Volkswagen was targeted for manipulating emissions levels, has had far-reaching consequences for the automotive industry and drivers. If DUH’s allegations turn out to be true, it could trigger a renewed crisis of confidence in the automotive industry and have significant financial and legal consequences for drivers.

What does a hardware retrofit mean?

A hardware retrofit is an effective way to modify a vehicle’s existing system to reduce harmful emissions. It is usually done by installing special devices that filter exhaust gases, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment.

Retrofitting with Advanpure systems ensures that BMW drivers can reliably comply with the prescribed limits for nitrogen oxide emissions. Our systems are specifically designed to make emission control efficient and maintain vehicle performance without increasing fuel consumption.

The advantages of hardware retrofitting

The main benefits of a hardware retrofit with Advanpure’s systems are the avoidance of depreciation and compliance with emission limits. Our solutions enable vehicles to continue to meet the required standards and thus not be affected by any driving bans.

In addition to this, a retrofit can also help preserve the value of the vehicle. This is because vehicles that meet current emissions standards are more in demand on the market and therefore retain their value better.
