Don't dealers also put some kind of cleaning fluid in as well as commanding a forced regen?
Just a small note of caution. Beware of deleting the DPF as the MOT tests now look for it, and any sign of tampering you will get a fail automatically. The rules are getting tougher and if your insurers ever discover it your policy is cancelled as the vehicle is no longer legally on the road. That opens up a bigger world of pain.......
The chances of it being found may be low, but it's not worth it if it is. Technically you can't then sell the car without declaring the missing DPF, but again how often does that happen?

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.Re: X3 3.0d Manual
All sound advice X5S, thank you!
Once the thermostat is in I'll do as you suggest. I'm reluctant to delete the DPF but had not considered the insurance implications - good point! will also try the DPF additive.

Re: X3 3.0d Manual
My C110 reports the last region was 38000 miles ago on my 2007 2.0d with 70000 on the clock.
My daily commute is 20 miles each way on some fairly fast roads, also done a couple of long motorway trips as well recently.
Car runs fine with no smoke or power issues
