P0456 Code: 2022 BMW 5 Series – What It Means & Cost to Fix

2022 BMW 5 Series P0456: Very Small EVAP Leak Guide

Tracking P0456 on Your 2022 5 Series

Your 2022 5 Series (G30 LCI—refreshed) has triggered P0456—a very small EVAP leak. BMW's DMTL pump actively tests the system. The B48 (530i) or B58 (540i) turbo is unaffected. BMW's 4yr/50k warranty runs through 2026.
