FRESH NEWS! 
All the new parts were replaced (turbo, 6 injectors, pre-cat, cat, admission parts, some tubes, engine management control unit...).
All installed, checked, computer diagnostic done, engine running one hour inside the repair shop. Everything OK ! Only necessary to do the road test during 10 kms, wash and car ready to go.
The problem was that during the road test ......... THE CAR WENT MAD AGAIN and everything was ......... smoke and a trouble to stop the car.
My wife was driving in the same road at the time the car was stopped and smoking, called me and i asked her to check what was the problem.
The same again ....
BMW ordered to replace the complete engine, another new turbo, pre cat, cat, high pressure fuel pump, ....... and a lot more of parts.
"We aren't taking any risks, everything will be brand new, by the time we finish the work your car engine will be just like a new one coming out from the factory in a new car...".
I'm waiting for that day ... anyone know a situation like this ? Complete new engine ? ........................

I'm keeping the replacemet car until my own car is ready to go.
I will be around 3 weeks without my car.
The question is that i'm a little afraid of keeping the car after repair.
The new E60 is gooing to be ready only in the end of next year and the new X5 isn't really my type of car. What car to choose ?
And loose around 30.000 ?/35.000 ? with the car i ordered to factory and waited for it 3 months ...
Damn ....

It sounds as if they are going to be doing at least ?6K of work.
Main problem I see is that your dealer seems to be a moron - is there anyone else who can deal with it?

Got the car back after 3 weeks.
New engine and no warranty right now.
What to do ? Keep it or sell it ? I'm not trusting the car anymore ....

and next owner as well 
The particle filter is a consumable part for diesels, especially in countries where diesel quality is not good (like Greece) so that's a common damage, there is no need to worry about this matter.
