Exhaust emission test

[Funky Toyz]

Hi Guys,

I've searched the forum but can't find any info on this.

I have an E90 320i and on the service indicator there is an Exhaust emission test. It is not due at the moment however, taking that into consideration, what are the implications of a de-cat?

I believe the cat aids in emission control?

After owning BMW for about 5 years, only now have I found it necessary to brush up on the knowledge I have of this brand. I think reason being is that the first bmw was bought and sold while in motorplan, so I never needed to worry about anything going wrong. The current E90 was also bought in motorplan, however this has since expired. :bawling:

So in other words, remove cat and service at private machy and the car will 'pass' the emissions test :spit:
