Why did the particle filter warning light come on in the BMW 3 Series?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

In the BMW 3 Series, the particle filter warning light indicates that it is partially clogged and the automatic cleaning procedure will be initiated. In this case it is very important not to switch off the engine so as not to interrupt this operation, otherwise the blockage could worsen up to the point of requiring manual intervention in the workshop.
