BMW 2 DPF Warning: Black Smoke & Power Loss Issues

Hey everyone! Got some trouble with my 2023 BMW 2 diesel. The DPF warning light came on, engine's running weak, and I'm getting dark smoke during acceleration. Car also failed emissions. Pretty sure it's the particulate filter acting up. Has anyone dealt with similar symptoms? What was your repair experience like and how did your mechanic resolve it? Would really appreciate hearing about the actual fix and costs involved. Thanks in advance

BMW X1 Error 480A Particulate Filter System: How can I address this error? Is there a way without complex filter cleaning? Is there perhaps something like an additive that can be added to the fuel tank or something else? Thanks

You can try using a DPF cleaner additive that you add to the fuel tank, which can help reduce soot buildup and assist in regeneration. However, this is usually a temporary solution. Ensure you drive the car at highway speeds for at least 20-30 minutes to help the regeneration process. If the error persists, a more thorough inspection by a mechanic might be necessary. Let me know if you have any further questions!
