German Magazine Backs Off Claim That BMW May Have Cheated On Emission Tests

German magazine Auto Bild said it has no indication that BMW Group manipulated emissions tests, clarifying its earlier report that an X3 SUV had produced emissions more than 11 times the European limit when road-tested by the International Council on Clean Transportation.

The test results "in no way" mean BMW manipulated or had switch-off devices installed, Auto Bild said today in a statement.

BMW said earlier it doesn't cheat on emissions tests, responding to the Auto Bild report that the X3 xDrive 2.0d model exceeded the European limit for air pollution.

OOPS! Ready FIRE Aim journalism strike again. Publish without facts. Other reports I read said the the X3 was engineered within the letter of the law, a law which had some leeway written into it. Lawyers can write laws, but they often don't have a clue about the technology needed to meet them.
