year and model of your e60 might help, along with approx miles...

this error can come up for various reasons...a quick search would get you a plethora of threads/info

try advanced search> "increased+emissions">e60 5 series forum

Maybe this will help: https://5series.net/forums/topic/853...ssion-no-more/ see page 4 for detailed pics.

Our 545's had a recall awhile back regarding the PRV. I had the same fault and this relatively easy and cheap repair solved my problems.

Not sure why your car didn't initially start though so can't help you there. Good luck
