Several German carmakers plan to recall more than 600,000 cars as part of the widening investigations into emissions, according to reports in Germany.

Government sources have said that Mercedes, Opel and Porsche as well as Volkswagen and Audi would recall some diesel vehicles.

The move comes after the revelation in the US last year that VW had falsified diesel emissions tests."

Does anyone expect BMW to be involved in similar antics?

As if a simple remap is going to stop diesels being filthy, whole thing is a joke

BMW have actually issued a statement to the effect that they have in no way manipulated any test figures.

It was on one of the dealer sites.

Slightly worrying to see a number of diesel BMWs listed in this recent article...
