Just did a DPF delete on my F30 320d B47. Heres what was involved:

  1. Physical DPF removal (replaced with straight pipe)
  2. ECU remap to disable DPF regeneration
  3. EGR software disable
  4. Removed DPF pressure sensors

Car runs so much better now. No more regen cycles killing fuel economy. Exhaust note is deeper too.

IMPORTANT: This is for off-road/track use only. Not legal on public roads in most EU countries.

    Important note for anyone reading this: DPF delete is illegal for road use in most EU countries. You can get fined and fail MOT/TUV. Only do this if the car is for off-road or track use.

    Good guide! Just want to add - make sure your tuner also disables the exhaust gas temperature sensors in software. Otherwise you might get phantom codes.

    did you notice any difference in engine temperature after DPF delete? some people say the engine runs cooler without the DPF restriction
