Product Information

BMW NOx Sensors diagram for 540d xDrive

A NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor monitors the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in a vehicle's exhaust to help the engine control module (ECM) optimize combustion and emissions systems, including EGR and SCR/DEF operation on diesel vehicles. By providing real-time exhaust data, it helps reduce harmful emissions, maintain fuel efficiency, and ensure the vehicle meets emissions standards.

• Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated
• Reduced engine performance or limp mode
• Increased fuel consumption
• Failed emissions inspection
• DEF system warnings or excessive DEF consumption (diesel)
• SCR catalyst efficiency faults
• Rough idle or hesitation (less common)
• Stored NOx sensor diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
