I reset the 120K DPF replacement alarm on the idrive when it came up on my pre-LCI 535d and at 148K still no problems. Just drive the cars like they are supposed to be driven and the DPF regens should keep it clean.
I see some have taken to removing the DPF using a bypass pipe with associated remap rather than replace a clogged one, but I think recent MOT laws have changed to say if the car was built with a DPF then it should have one fitted. Not a cheap item to replace so best keep giving it a good thrashing :))

I don't think you can mate.

Normally regeneration is done naturally at a certain speed and revs or forced regeneration through software

Correct. I was referring to the alarm for the DPF replacement. On pre LCi cars the DPF was a service item to be replaced at 120K. My point was don't replace it as it costs a fortune just drive it like you stole it and the DPF stays clean  :)
