Nestled between the engine and the tailpipe, your catalytic converter serves the important function of cleaning your exhaust emissions. BMW converters are extremely durable, but over time even the toughest converter can sometimes run into trouble. Let's take a look at five indicators that it's time to visit your local BMW dealership to have your converter repaired or replaced. Does Your BMW Need a New Catalytic Converter? You Hear Metallic Rattling Inside the stainless steel housing of your BMW's converter lies a complex catalyst system. The fume-cleaning catalyst is a ceramic honeycomb packed with rhodium, palladium, and platinum, which turn toxic fumes into harmless gases. When jolted too hard, struck by a rock or pothole, or otherwise impacted, the delicate inner pieces of a catalyst can sometimes come loose. In this case, you'll hear a metallic rattling sound from under your car. Unfortunately, a converter thus damaged will usually need to be replaced. more Your Engine Loses Power Any disruption to the flow of air into your car's engine reduces the engine's ability to generate power. This is because the combustion chambers require a precise mix of both fuel and oxygen. When the oxygen component is lessened, the engine struggles to generate as much power. It may seem odd, but a faulty or blocked converter will often slow the inflow of air into the engine. This is because the air needs to escape through the converter and tailpipe. If a blocked converter doesn't allow this, then less air can enter the system. So if you experience a sudden loss of acceleration or engine power, you might need a new converter. You Notice Black Exhaust Smoke If a faulty converter clogs the flow of air, the fuel-air mixture inside the engine's combustion chambers will become fuel-heavy. This leads to excess fuel, which is expelled through the exhaust system, emerging from the tailpipe in the form of black smoke. Sometimes, you'll even see flames in the smoke as it ignites. Your Car Idles Roughly As you no doubt know, a healthy BMW engine emits nothing more than a silky smooth purr as it idles. If you ever notice sputtering and rough idling, this is likely because something is inhibiting the airflow. The excess unburned fuel inside the combustion chambers is smothering the spark plugs in a sooty residue, reducing their effectiveness. Your Local BMW Dealer Can Diagnose the Problem Rough idling often indicates trouble with either your air filter or your converter. It might also be caused by a dirty fuel filter, a defective fuel pump, clogged fuel injectors, or something else. You'll usually need to have a technician diagnose the problem for you. You Smell Hydrogen Sulfide When a converter fails to turn toxic emissions into cleaner gases, the toxic fumes will make it out of your car. One of those gases is hydrogen sulfide, which has a pungent smell, similar to that of rotten eggs. S if you notice such a stink while driving, have your converter checked promptly. To have your converter examined, repaired, or replaced today, visit Tom Bush BMW Orange Park. We're an award-winning local dealership dedicated to providing consistently top-notch service to every single customer who steps foot through our doors.

Taking care of a vehicle is a lot of work these days if you want to maintain it in excellent condition. One of the many service items you may hear your maintenance tech talk about when dropping your car off at your BMW dealer for service is tire rotation. Have you ever wondered why this is important? Below we will discuss four reasons this service is so important and why you should never skip it when due. 4 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your BMW Dealer 1. Improved Fuel Economy Tires that wear out unevenly create more resistance when rolling along the road. This resistance requires more energy from the engine of the vehicle to drive the vehicle forward, thus decreasing fuel economy. Tire design is constantly improving every year, producing tires that roll more easily to improve fuel economy. Rotating your tires regularly ensures the tread pattern of your tires is wearing out evenly, keeping the rolling resistance low, and improving fuel economy. more 2. Extends the Life of Your Tires Tires wear in different ways when used in different positions on your vehicle. Rotating your tires allows each tire to wear down evenly, prolonging the life of your tire. Front tires tend to wear faster on vehicles whether the vehicle is a front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive because the front tires take in all the forces of steering and braking. Not rotating your tires will lead to uneven wear and premature tire failure, forcing you to replace tires sooner. 3. Improved Vehicle Handling Uneven tire tread wear and tread depth can affect the handling of your vehicle, causing your vehicle to pull to one side or causing a vibration when driving. Tread depth makes your vehicle handle well in rain, snow, or any other adverse conditions. Once your tires lose their tread depth, your vehicle will start handling poorly. By rotating your tires regularly, you can prevent uneven tread wear and tread depth and keep your vehicle handling smoothly and safely. 4. Prevent Unexpected Tire Blowouts Blowout chances are increased when driving on tires with uneven tire wear. Chances are increased more driving at high speeds or driving a lot of miles on a long trip. If your tire wears unevenly, one side of the tire may have worn out tread, while the other side may look completely new. Wear occurring on the inside where you cannot see it becomes dangerous. Regular rotation of tires will help prevent tire blowouts from occurring by keeping tire treads even. So there you go! Four important reasons to rotate your vehicle's tires. It will improve the performance of your vehicle and keep you safe on the road. It's affordable and convenient and will save you money in the long run by extending the life of your tires. As a rule of thumb, rotation of tires is recommended every six months for most vehicles. Reach out to the staff at Tom Bush BMW Orange Park to schedule an appointment today!
