Cheers Glen. It's an old and busted BMW, which what I normally buy. 2008 E83 164k Klm and my BMW specific ODB reader tells me glow plug 1 is stuffed and the DPF is at a mileage where it needs replacing. I've read that DPF fault can be cleared using the appropriate software which I'm trying to find. A catch can may be the quick solution. The breather pipe is very easy to get to.
I thought the EGR got tacked onto diesels to lower the temp in the combustion chamber which in turn creates larger exhaust particles which then require the DPF to clean them up. Unfortunately they never released this model X drive in the US as a diesel so I'm forced to gleen most info on the engine from British forums. And to make it worse no one makes an aftermarket manual which covers the diesel X drives.
