The amber DPF warning light on BMW 318d/320d indicates the filter is approaching capacity. Drive at 60+ mph for 20 minutes to initiate passive regeneration. If the light turns red or the car enters limp mode, a forced regeneration at a BMW workshop is required. Cost: £80-180. Do not ignore the red DPF warning — continued driving causes irreversible filter damage.
