What year? SE? Sport? Spec? How does it compare to this?

The devil is in the detail

I would do a little investigation around the Diesel Particulate filter, this is a serviceable item that will cost in excess of 1k when it needs doing. I found this out as I had a 2007 325 M Sport Diesel and at 80K the filter needed changing. This filter is part of the exhaust system and its purpose is to reduce emissions. The first sign was message on the dash saying particulate filter. Luckily BMW changed this FOC as the life expectancy is 120k!

Im sure someone on PH can shed a little more light on this...
