I did hear back from the dpf eBay seller. They offered to take it back but no details on that resolution yet. They didn’t offer to send a replacement. I’ll let you all know what happens with the OE dpf at cleaning tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll tell me it’s ok. If not, I’ll be looking here and on marketplace for one that fell off from someone else hitting a pothole. I just can’t spend the ~$4000 for a new one from bmw.
