Your BMW automobile has an engine that can produce a large amount of power. But in order for it to do so, it must also produce a lot of exhaust gas. A byproduct of the combustion process inside the internal combustion engine, exhaust gas is the result of the fuel and air mixture that is ignited by the spark plug inside the engine combustion chamber. This exhaust gas is quite toxic, and can severely pollute the environment as well as endanger the health of human beings. Cars must dispose of exhaust gas properly in order to lessen its impact in the environment, and it does so by using a catalytic converter. A component of you car's exhaust system, the catalytic converter is a device that reduces the toxicity of the exhaust gas by converting the harmful chemical contained in the exhaust into safer ones.
But for the catalytic converter to work, there must be an adequate supply of oxygen in the exhaust gas. And in order to ensure that the exhaust contains enough oxygen, your BMW is equipped with a special BMW oxygen sensor. Located in the exhaust manifold down pipe of your car, the BMW oxygen sensor has the important task of accurately calculating the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas. After the calculations have been made, the oxygen sensor then determines whether the air in the exhaust is sufficient or not and delivers this data to the onboard computer of your BMW. The computer then uses this data to adjust the air and fuel ratio inside the engine so that the catalytic converter can work effectively.
