"There is no difference in the treatment of exhaust emissions
whether they are on (test) rollers or on the road," the German
luxury-car maker said on Thursday.
German trade magazine Auto Bild said earlier on Thursday that
BMW's X3 xDrive 20d model exceeded "Euro 6" emissions limits
more than 11-fold in road tests by the International Council on
Clean Transportation (ICCT).
"No specific details of the test have yet been provided and
therefore we cannot explain these results," BMW said. "We will
contact the ICCT and ask for clarification of the test they
carried out."
