BMW X1 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF E84 (2009-2015)

A DPF (diesel particulate filter) is a critical part of your car’s exhaust system. It captures harmful particles created by fuel combustion, helping to reduce emissions and meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards.

As your diesel engine runs, it generates soot and other pollutants. The DPF traps them inside its honeycomb structure. When full, the system begins a regeneration process to burn off the buildup and restore airflow.

This automated cleaning cycle has three modes:

• Passive regeneration during extended driving
• Active regeneration via ECU intervention
• Forced regeneration by a garage using a diagnostic tool

All aim to keep the filter clear and functioning properly.

Common symptoms include:

• A warning light on the dashboard
• Power loss or sluggish response
• Higher fuel usage
• A strong smell from the tailpipe
• Repeated failed regenerations

Catching a clog early can help you avoid more serious system failure.

Yes, using a dpfclean kit or professional off-car cleaning tool. Steps include:

• Removing the unit and flushing it with cleaner
• Drying thoroughly
• Reinstalling it with new gaskets and resetting any sensor codes

If the particulate filter DPF BMW is too damaged, replacement is the best option.

In many cases, yes—especially for minor buildup. They’re a cost-effective solution to avoid a premature purchase. However, they won’t restore a cracked or corroded filter. Always check the condition before choosing.

A catalyst breaks down gas-based pollutants, while a DPF captures solid particles like soot. Some models integrate both into a secondary component, offering a compact, combined solution for full exhaust treatment.

Yes. A different mounting position and pipe layout in xDrive versus sDrive setups means you need to verify the code, position (rear or left), and hardware. Always check before buying.

In some cases, yes. A diesel particulate filter DPF may be shared between the BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and X1. Use our categorie view and engine code match tool to be sure.

No. While diesel X1s need them, petrol engines use components like:

• Pollen filters
• Secondary air valves
• EGR systems

These maintain emissions but don’t require a DPF.

If you’re experienced with manual work and have access to a lift or pit, yes. You’ll need:

• The new filter
• Proper mounting material
• Tools to handle clamps, brackets, and shields

For peace of mind, we recommend having a garage do the install.
