Was actually in park and it was after driving 10 miles. Hmm Might be time to check the O2's, I know I saw a post on how to check readings somewhere....
Your kidding about Axel and the Camry, right? (sounded legit)
Thanks Thomas,
Henry

Hey Henry J,

Hopefully the engine was in neutral when you took the test. From the Data that everyong submitted, corrected for temperature, the V12 seems to use 2.5 to 2.8 l / hr. I don't know at what rate you will fail the emissions test or if both O2's are bad. I don't think that both O2 sensors fail at the same time, but by the time you identify a problem, both may be bad.

P.S. Axel drives a Toyota Camry & has never owned a BMW.
