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.

Could be any number of things but you probably wont know until you have the codes run...

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