Got a duff DPF filter on my 316D touring my mech says that apart from it being blocked its not regenerating! also its now broken at the exhaust output which is causing the exhaust pipe to wiggle around a bit and he a says we need a replacment one as it can't be welded as such. I don't doubt what he says its just the replacment one, seems new ones are around a grand or more but a wide range on ebay and quite a few suppliers from Germany like Autodoc.. Now not suprising seeing their German suppliers but in recent times he's had a lot of greif with spare parts from most all motor factors and the like i've seen some of the problems he had had with other cars like a clutch place that just didnt work! another suppliers did!, turbo for a range rover would spin and then stop something inside jammed up so what apart from the BMW new one anyone recommed a decent supplier either ebay or a breaker or a German supplier?. Car is fine otherwise its 2102 vintage done around 136,000 miles?. Thanks for any advice..
