Hi just checked under the car there appears to be a rear silencer and another midway along the car at the moment there dies not appear to be anything else though  I can't check next to the turbo

Just a point I have just looked at the last ...

Hi it's a facelift November 2006 the swirl flaps have been removed and blanked off the exhaust is straight how can you tell if the dpf is working and is regenerating ?

Hi I have a 2006 m47 msport x3 the car runs very well and gives good mpg  the only thing is the tail pipe always looks sooty in side the car has just done a 400 mile round trip mostly motorway miles , is this  sooty tail pipe a sign of dpf failure ?
Thanks in anticipation
