During its announcements and press releases at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, BMW briefly touched on the BluePerformance technology:

“The new BMW 330d comes as standard with a diesel particulates filter and an oxidation catalyst. Thanks to these innovations introduced on the new six-cylinder, the BMW 330d significantly outperforms the EU 5 emission limits, the oxidation catalyst converting hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into water and carbon dioxide. To further reduce nitric oxides in the exhaust emissions, the new six-cylinder diesel may be equipped additionally with an NOX storage catalyst for after-treatment of exhaust gas in addition to the oxidation catalyst.

In its optional configuration with BMW BluePerformance technology, the new BMW 330d even meets all the requirements for the future EU 6 emission standard not coming into force for a number of years.” (Source: BMW Press Room)
