"Increased emissions" with a CE light

I had the same thing. Just give it a week and see if it goes away. Mine went away. The other option is to clear it with an OBD tool and see if it comes back. May have had a random misfire.

Quite a few things can cause the increase emissions warning. There really isn't one common thing that trips that warning. Like the other user said you need a OBD to clear it. Otherwise a trip to the dealer. Since your car looks to be under warranty still just take it to the dealer.

I just got this message also... So i took it to Auto Zone since they have the OBC tool. The guy was explaning to me that there could be a pin hole in one of my tubes and its allowing excess air in and the making the gas mixture rich.. Something to that effect.. i didnt really understand. Basically he said, this would cause my gas mileage to be pretty bad and it could damage my engine if i dont take it to the dealer to check it out. What do you guys think?? Im really trying to avoid taking to the dealer, I know its gonna be really expensive.
HELP Please!

Mine turned out to be a faulty pump (don't remember the name sorry), dealer took care of it under warranty and all is fine. Have a dealer check out the car, not AutoZone, that's no place for a BMW.

Does anyone know if this would affect gas mileage? Seems like im only getting like 18/mpg since this error came on my car.
Im thinking I need to take it in but since i dont have warranty im scared to see the damage. Anyone on this forum in the Dallas area that can recommend an independant BMW shop that is reliable.
Thanks
