I have a 30-45 min highway drive 3 days a week, so regen should be pretty regular. I have monitored the engine coolant temp, and it was between 70-75C on the highway. This may be low, and the thermostat may need replaced, but according to Carly, the last DPF regen was an hour ago. And the soot level is only 9.7g.

My wife's Acura costs $35 for an oil change. Granted it is not a BMW but $35 is a lot less than $89 and a hell of a lot less than $200. Labor for the oil change was $30.29 which leaves $46.40 for parts and $3.30 for tax for a total of $79.99 on the invoice. So the $89 I quoted above was high. . 79 463 338 13 496 60 336 73
