[AnaLynn]

2021 BMW X3 comes with a particulate filter. The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by front and rear oxygen sensors. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot generated by diesel engines by more than 90%. The captured exhaust particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Methods to confirm the presence of a particulate filter: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to check for any particulate filter warning light indicators. Examine the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means a particulate filter is installed. Look at the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
