Sustained motorway driving like in the video is ideal for the DPF. If it, for some reason, becomes clogged despite its automatic regen, you can manually engage it. Or eventually have it cleaned up by a specialist.
Officially, the DPF in BMW diesels is good for 186,000 miles, but there are F-gen N57 diesels with way over 200k miles still on their first DPF. |
F30 with an n47 here. I was told that the DPF in my car is hard coded to fail before 150k miles? |
Anything "coded to fail" can be uncoded as well. If the dealer can install a new DPF and code the ecu to accept it, an Indy shop can do the same coding and just leave the untouched original DPF in place to live as long as it can.
