Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and I'm really desperate to find some help in relation to this.
I got used mini D 90k miles on it last week (2010). Fully serviced until 86 k (so does the book says).
Problems - DPF light comes on sometimes for few minutes, diesel consumption is atrocious, black smoke coming out of exhaust, zero pick up and almost stops when going up the hill....
I think it is DPF filter. Have booked the car for diagnostics next week but I think they may recommend changing the filter and I don't know if it is going to make sense to do it in BMW service as it is going to be expensive. Anybody knows how much? and what would be the alternative? (cleaning the filter, etc etc). please help...
