BMW & MINI Cooper Smog Station: BMW Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter rarely fails on a car that has been maintained properly. If it did fail, why? There is usually a problem that is the precursor of the “cat” failure. They usually do not just “stop” (as is the case with some electrical components). There is something else going on in the emission system in front of the cat that is usually the culprit.

If your catalytic converter is damaged by excessive heat, (caused by improper/rich fuel mixture), the substrate melts, blockage will form, gases build up in the exhaust system, your BMW may be stalling. You can avoid expensive repair by following BMW recommended maintenance schedule.
