I've always noticed Diesel cars smoking a little bit on South African Roads. I thought it was from the 3000ppm diesel - but the other day I managed to video my car (which has been on a strict diet of 500ppm diesel) and it also smokes a bit!

Here is a link to the video: http://broken1.e90post.com/movie.htm

Any other 320d owners: Try and post a short clip of your car sitting and revving and also state what diesel you use? (500ppm/50ppm/10ppm)



I hate smokey diesels.

Ps. I remeber E90Fleet saying something about particulate filters...

I think the straight 320d exhausts have it? Maybe not! Post your clips :-)

My clip is:

Starting car.
Revving to 2000rpm
Revving to 3000rpm
Revving a bit more
Turning car off

In Ireland at least, the 320d doesn't come with a particulate filter BUT you can order it as an option and it can be retrofitted to the car at any stage. As far as I remember, it was not cheap at around €800.

Yes, just found it.

Option Code 200
830 Euro extra

Your car makes hardly any smoke compared to cars like the VW polo TDi on the old diesel

I'd prefer no smoke if possible!

Haha, no problem, just move to germany, we get the particle filter as stock on all (BMW) diesels. Straight tip on all exhausts included.

Edit: No, sorry, incorrect. Particle filtre is € 580 for 1-series. All others come with it as stock.
