Welcome to the Forum

Not seen this on a petrol model yet seen quite a few diesel though, as your car is only 4 years old unless it has covered more miles than the star ship Enterprise a blocked DPF/Cat is unlikely.

A diagnostic session should find the culprit quickly, my guess would be a sensor gone wrong. If you don't have your own diagnostics a good garage with a BMW capable system can do it. Or if you have an extended Warranty with BMW use them

The Differential Pressure sensor  sits on top of the DPF/Cat so should be fairly easy to reach

Hope this helps

Dave

      TPMS Light on E87

      My 2011 E87 had TPMS light come yesterday, checked tyres and one was slightly low (down ~8 psi) but now light wont go out again. From what I've read these don't have actual pressure sensors in tyres but work on wheel rotation. Is this correct? I have driven vehicle since pumping up tyre but light remained on, is there something I need to do to reset it? I'm bit nervous as car goes in for MOT work Monday and I go away Tuesday so don't want it failing on this now with no time to sort issue.

      I am looking to sell my mother's grey-green metallic 2003 BMW 325xi. It's in exceptional condition (kept in her garage) and has only 64,990 miles on it. Have original purchase paperwork (one owner) and title. May sell via Carvana, so contact me ASAP. Will Crane: cranesx3@gmail.com

      '07 BMW 530i junkyard satellite

      Hi Ron I spoke with a friend in BMW he says it will need a Diagnostic program like INPA/ISTA that has the capability to re-register the unit. He obviously favours BMW's program but I know others are capable of re-registering components he doesn't think you should need a one time code. If you have a Diagnostic and can find the unit try reading the unit Data and look for the chassis number if the one that is there doesn't match yours wipe it and enter yours. Good Luck Dave

      '07 BMW 530i junkyard satellite

      Morning Ron So it is the Sat Radio unit try looking on www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your cars Vin into the search box That should call up your model then search the Audio Nav section the small exploded drawings will show what should be there and what is connected to it you can also get the correct part numbers (double click the part numbers and it should show a list of alternates if available). Also worth checking the fuses in case someone pulled a fuse Good Luck with the party plans 😅 Dave
