I would suggest deleting the DPF if you can get away with it. It will become a service issue at some point, and it puts undue stress on the turbos unless it stays squeaky clean. Which it typically doesn’t.
Hi Daytontrbo,

The x5 I just bought is a 2013 x5 sport with just under 70,000 miles.
When I went to look at it, the check engine light was on and after the dealership scanned it, it turns out it needs an active tank.
I think this is going to work out well for me as the dealership has agreed to discount it the cost to replace, which should more than cover the cost of deletes and tune.

I'm basically going to take the x5 to the and tell them do whatever they think it needs.. swirl flap delete, vacuum line replacement, egr/scr delete, tune and if they feel the DPF is clogged to either cut and gut or swap for a buzzken pipe, however from the research I've done it seems the dpf shouldn't be too clogged with only 70,000miles but if after the shop looks at it they recommend a delete pipe, she shall have it!

Are you still liking your delete(s)? Any complaints or recommendations?
