Have the one unit with cat and dpf
So guess I have to move the rack to drop it out, then cut hole and remove internals,
Should I leave cat element in and would it not fall down in the emty tin?
Please any help thanks

I removed mine for a clean.
Didn't move the rack, but I did release the engine mounts and jack up the engine a bit.
Still scraped a bit here and there.
Also very heavy item to hold with one hand under the car while re-installing. I replaced the round sheet metal turbo seal as well - didn't want any leakage issues.

From this diagram RealOEM.com * BMW E60N 530d Catalyser/Diesel particulate filter
you can see part number 18307793678 (3 in the pic).
Book also says to replace the clamp as well but I didn't do that.
I think the metal gasket compresses once and is deformed so that it never really seals as well again.
