I know they used to sell a normal one and an activated carbon one, can't access the link as it's asking for a Reg number and mine had my plate on it and can't remember the original reg.
Someone on here will know.

I think they are both carbon ones. It's the difference in size, one is quite large and one is about half the size

Re turbo gasket to down-pipe..
Smoke under the bonnet... You having a laugh.... really ? ....
I see it billowing out of the wheel arches when she starts on a cold morning.....
And re... a sunny day.... I think there was one at some point last June, or was that a dream I had...
I will live in hope of the elusive sunny day, and hope it comes before I dies of exhaust poisoning..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200984412537? ... EBIDX%3AIT

E53 didn't come with DPF in the UK. The E70 did , so she's obviously getting confused with the E70

There's a catalytic converter, but definitely no DPF - although you could specify one and BMW do now offer one as a retrofit.
