2011 x5 diesel check engine light
32000 miles on vehicle .....3 months out of warranty....
Yesterday got the emissions light (Amber engine), and started doing some research.
Most trips in this vehicle are of very short duration.....less than 5 miles.....every great now and then, I might drive 2 hours at interstate speed, but infrequently
2 years ago , this vehicle was part of BMW emissions recall , and have not had any problems to speak of since then.
I checked the fault code today, P2458; diesel particulate filter regeneration duration. I cleared the fault drove it 5 miles, and the light did not reappear.
Is this an issue of me not driving the vehicle enough, or hard enough, or is there something else I need to be aware of? I really hate to think of going to the dealer with this issue $$$$$$$$$$......
Anyone with any experience with this?
