BMW X5 DPF Issues: Black Smoke and Failed Emissions Test

Black smoke from exhaust on acceleration

|

Loss of engine power

Hi all! Having issues with my 2001 BMW X5 Diesel. The DPF warning light came on, power is down significantly, and I'm getting black smoke during acceleration. Failed emissions test too. Pretty sure the particulate filter is the culprit, but wanted to hear from those who've dealt with similar problems. Has anyone here experienced this? What was the actual fix and how much did it cost at the shop? Thanks in advance
