Not an expert, but if you have seen slight improvement from the dpf i would think your egr is blocked.

Did the dealer clear any fault codes?
It may be that the car is in some form of safe/limp home mode, and you won't have full power until the error code is cleared from the cars ECU.

Im not a BMW owner, so im just surmising. Lots of e60 owners on here though - I'm sure someone else can give a more informed opinion.
