BMW & MINI Repair Services: BMW Smog Check

Your BMW failed the smog test? You think you need a new catalytic converter?

A catalytic converter rarely fails on a car that has been maintained properly. There is usually a problem that is the precursor of the “cat” failure. An incorrect fuel mixture can actually cause the catalyst to begin to melt. Any situation that would cause deposits in the ceramic unit and restricts air flow could lead to a more serious problem.

Remember that it’s not only “just a good idea” to have a licensed Smog Check Tech working on your emission system. It is one of the Bureau of Automotive Repair Regulations in California. If you fail a Smog Test, the repair is to be done by a licensed Smog Technician.
