Rival German carmaker Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to using "defeat device" software in the US to cheat diesel engine emissions tests, plunging the company into scandal.
BMW said prosecutors were looking into "erroneously allocated" software in about 11,400 vehicles of the BMW 750d and BMW M550d luxury models.
BMW said the findings did not reveal a "targeted manipulation" of emissions. Last month BMW recalled 11,700 cars to fix an engine management software issue.
