    What was BMW's reason for fitting them in the first place if they're not needed then?

    Almost as useful as the brilliant EGR valves (especially on diesels!)

    Another classic screw up

    Ford were working on trying to get through emissions without the need for EGR as it was 'cheaper' to pay a dozen engineers for a year or two than it was in Warranty costs for EGR valve failures and fines on emissions
