P0456 Code: 2022 BMW X3 – What It Means & Cost to Fix

2022 BMW X3 P0456: Very Small EVAP Leak Repair

Tracking P0456 on Your 2022 X3

Your 2022 X3 (G01 LCI—refreshed) has triggered P0456—a very small EVAP leak. BMW's DMTL pump actively tests the EVAP system. The B48 (xDrive30i) or B58 (M40i) turbo is unaffected. BMW's 4yr/50k warranty runs through 2026.

Evidence

  • Check engine light on
