Functional description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The low temperature EGR cooler must be blocked against flow. When the engine is cold, the coolant must warm up as quickly as possible to keep emissions low. For this purpose, the additional cooling circuit is also kept closed.

When de-energized, the changeover valve of the low temperature EGR cooler is closed towards the low temperature EGR cooler. Engine control only activates the changeover valve once the low-pressure EGR cooler activates. The changeover valve switches to the additional coolant circuit.
