Hi All

Returned to the dealer that we purchased X3 from today.

The Particulate filter had regenerated 524 earlier. About 500km after the service at the other dealer.

I think that it is very shabby that neither the other dealer or BMW warranty could not figure out that all was normal and it was near to regenerating itself. Both said that we needed to book in for service for a couple of hours at our expense as nothing ever goes wrong with BMW particulate filters that is not the fault of the driver. Just don't buy a diesel BMW and drive it at city speeds and expect any warranty help with any fuel problems!!

The trip that it regenerated itself during was a 300km freeway drive with the cruise control set at 110kph, they can regenerate at 1500 or so RPM.
