With two kids in college I need my x5d to last another 4 years and 50k miles.
In preparation I’m thinking about buying a used DPF and having it professionally cleaned so when mine clogs up I can be back up and running in a day.

(1) anyone tried having their DPF cleaned at a place that does commercial truck filters?

(2) anyone have a used DPF from a delete for sale?
