Hi,

Does anyone know what's the BMW offical policy on DPF filters in diesel cars? I mean do you have to change it after 200K kilomiters or only maintenance is required? I have 160K on my Bimmer and start to wonder. Anyone can help???

Would also be interested to know the answer to this. We have same kms on our E61 and with the recent problems we've experienced I'd like to know if I need to get rid sometime soon.

It should tell you in your i-drive how many mile's are left before change,it's around ?1200 to get it replaced here in the UK,and it can't be serviced!

The mileage shown in iDrive for the DPF replacement is 120,000 miles.
