My increased emission malfunction light came on as indicated on my idrive/HUD. What may be the issue? Can it be reseted? My engine mods are just basically bolt ons. It's a 545i.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance fellas.

That's true. Car is running smooth though. A friend of mine who has a code reader will analyze it tomorrow.
Thanks.

Get car coded first. Had same issue with mine( Increae emissions) but was the MAF sensor gave it a good clean and she was good to go after a few drives.
