Recommended Posts

Hey do these have a DPF?

I thought post 2006/07 they were equipping them with dpf.

Just doing a oil change for a friends car and wanted to know whether it's worth worrying about.

No DPF on a 2005. They came out on MY 2007 onwards. 

Easiest way to tell is by the exhaust tip. If it points down to the ground, it has no DPF. If it comes straight out the back, it has a DPF. That's assuming the car still has the stock exhaust.

According to RealOEM you should have option 200 if you have a DPF. That car does not have option 200, so shouldnt have a DPF.

RealOEM also indicates that the DPF equipped cars have a different rear muffler, but both still point down. There is another option if the car has a DPF and M Aero package together.

Not true, our 2006 120d has a DPF and the ( original) exhaust points down 

I think you maybe confusing a DPF with a catalytic converter. Pre MY 07 had the catalytic converter. After that was a DPF to the best of my knowledge. I could be wrong though. Does your car have option code 200? Would be keen to learn if i am wrong.

Might have to agree to disagree on that one.

No Idea if it has option 200 , but I do know it does have a DPF , because the the guys at BM workshop confirmed when they serviced it. 

 

Whats the rego/vin? Pretty easy to confirm.
