Hi All
I have a 2007 X5 which is coming up with a "service overdue" message on the idrive for the DPF when i first start it up. I have tried resetting it through the trip reset but to no avail.

I took it to a local indy who checked the backpressure and said the dpf was regenerating and in no way blocked or due for replacement.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the message? when i first got the car i reset it through the trip reset button & it went away for a few weeks now back again frown

TIA!

Not sure why your Indy didn't reset it. With some cbs items you may need to plug some diagnostic equipment in to reset once the warning goes red.
You can also carry another Dpf process where in addition to a Dpf reset you tell the car the Dpf is new. If you want to do a diy cbs Dpf reset the easiest way is using something like the Carly app and dongle.
