Did you know that your car contains precious metals? We're not talking gold or diamonds, but your BMW 535i catalytic converter uses small amounts of platinum, rhodium and palladium to do its job. What is the job of your 535i catalytic converter? Basically, the BMW 535i catalytic converter is designed to keep the environment clean and assist in the smooth performance of your engine. Your 535i catalytic converter is part of your car's exhaust system.
Located in an enlarged section of your exhaust pipe, the BMW 535i catalytic converter is a honeycomb filter through which exhaust gases pass from your engine on their way to your tailpipe. When toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and hydrocarbons enter your 535i catalytic converter, the metals it contains serve as catalysts for a chemical reaction that smashes the gas molecules.
Your BMW 535i catalytic converter then reforms these molecules to create harmless and environmentally safe nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. If your 535i catalytic converter is not working properly, you may notice a rotten-egg odor in your exhaust.
You may also experience sluggish engine performance as a result of a faulty BMW 535i catalytic converter. Typically, a bad 535i catalytic converter is detected during an emissions test or while other exhaust work is being performed.
