Munich prosecutors are looking into allegations BMW AG diesel cars are fitted with defeat devices to cheat on emissions levels following tests by German environmental group DUH.
The group’s claims come after it checked a BMW 320d car’s exhaust performance both at an inspection facility and on the road, prompting a review by Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority, or KBA. Munich investigators are also considering whether to open a probe, prosecutors’ spokeswoman Anne Leiding said in an email.
