Went to purchase some oil today and I was asked if my 06 3.0d had a dpf fitted as on there computer system shows a listing for dpf and non dpf models ,, I didn't think the e53 3.0d had a dpf fitted can anyone confirm this , just need the correct spec oil.

Re: dpf question
E53 was only ever Euro 3 approved hence the exhausts pointing downwards. No DPF as standard.
E70 & 71 are Euro 4 or 5 depending upon build year. I think the pre-2010 versions were EU4 and the LCI/8speed are EU5 and both have DPFs as a result. F15s are EU6 and therefore need Adblue.
You can have a DPF equipped version of the E53 though. It was offered by BMW as an alternative if the CAT went.
