DPF = diesel particulate filter - to catch up soot. It's a country specific addition - countries with ultra low sulfur diesel - the F25 here will most likely have it. Dealer will be able to tell whether your vehicle has it or not. If fitted - most likely will be incorporated with the normal catalytic converter - so may be difficult to ascertain on your own whether fitted or not. Southern African vehicles not fitted (except X5 40D) - but may change some time in future when ULSD much more freely available. Hope this helps.
