Did you have to drop the entire subframe? That diy shows just loosening the subframe bolts then removing the engine mount and you should be able to wiggle the dpf out.
I haven't been able to look at my x5 on a lift but I know my 335ds dpf almost dropped on my head after I removed the engine mount. I also had an engine support tilting the engine up on the passenger side with the drivers side mount loosened so that might of given me lots of space too. Also I had the rest of the exhaust hanging so the flange wasn't in my way.
