What is 'normal' for DPF regens

[Bubbaspaarx]

2015 F15 X5 40d M Sport with 100k miles.

DPF showing about 38g of ash mass and seems to regen every ~350 miles. This seems too regular and if so, I’d like to prod BMW to do something about it whilst I still have warranty,

I’ve had my fair share of DPF issues with a previous 330d so somewhat aware that these cars and engines are susceptible to clogging the DPF but am wondering if this is really abnormal.

For reference, driving style is normally 6 short (less than 5 mile) journeys plus 2 x 40 mile motorway trips a week.

Do you ever get "Oil level too high" message? Does your oil level increase?

I haven’t but the oil I just changed had a faint whiff of diesel which does worry me

How do you know when it’s performing a regen?
