Do not mean to hijack the thread. But the above link is dead and the scanner I bought from foxwelltool.com was 30$ cheaper I just got mine 2 weeks ago, awesome tool. Here***8217;s a rundown of what I***8217;ve found it can do:-Battery registration-Injector adjustments (You can also do adaptations if you change injectors)

How does DPF regeneration work? DPF regen is achieved by burning the particulates off the filter at high temperatures, leaving a small amount of residue behind. However, there are two types of regeneration: active and passive. Active regeneration takes place when the electronic control unit senses that the filter has reached its set limit. How does it work? DPF’s or ‘traps’ simply do that, they catch particles of soot in the exhaust. As with any filter, they must be emptied to allow them to maintain performance. The process of cleaning the filter is known as ‘regeneration’. How long does a DPF last? DPF’s are designed to last in excess of 100 000 miles.
Will need the garage to force a regeneration and identify why DPF regeneration it is not working. Regenerations should occur pretty regular, 300 - 500 miles being BMW quoted average. BMW (like many other car makers) do have issues with DPF regeneration, but usually once older and either the journey type is wrong (typically too short) and/or it

Because the DPF is under the car, not 'close coupled' in the exhaust manifold, the car needs to be driven quite a long way (50 miles) at 2000 - 2500 rpm to get the DPF hot enough to promote a passive regeneration. An active regeneration will happen automatically, but if the DPF is too stuffed up with soot for this to work, the post-injected

BMW states in DIS57 that the DPF regen requires; 10 litres of Diesel in tank Coolant temp to be over 75c Constant 40mph road speed Most DPF regen issues are caused by faulty coolant thermostats and constant short journeys, both resulting in engine temperatures not going over 75c, so the regen process does not happen resulting in a heavily clogged DPF. . 265 324 310 33 150 75 306 63 294
