BMW: More Detailed Live Data for DPF, Turbo and Vehicle Health
BMW owners are getting one of the biggest expansions in this update.
The new Carista app features provide access to useful information that can help drivers better understand the condition and operation of their vehicles.
BMW DPF Live Data
For supported diesel BMW models, Carista now provides detailed Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) information.
Instead of relying only on a warning light, drivers can access data related to the condition and operation of the DPF system.
Depending on the vehicle, available information includes:
- DPF soot mass
- DPF regeneration requested status
- DPF regeneration in progress
- DPF regeneration interrupted
- Exhaust gas temperature
- DPF differential pressure
- Oil ash mass
- Remaining distance until filter replacement
- Average regeneration distance interval
- Distance driven since the last successful regeneration
- Average vehicle speed since the last regeneration
- Fuel consumption since the last regeneration
This information can be particularly useful for BMW diesel owners who want greater visibility into their vehicle's DPF system.
Why Is BMW DPF Live Data Useful?
The diesel particulate filter plays an important role in reducing emissions by collecting soot produced by the engine.
Over time, the vehicle performs a regeneration process to burn off accumulated soot.
With live DPF information, drivers can gain better insight into:
- How much soot has accumulated
- Whether regeneration has been requested
- Whether regeneration is currently taking place
- Whether a regeneration process has been interrupted
- The operating conditions of the DPF system
Carista makes this information easier to access directly from your compatible mobile device.
