As per the URL you attached.
I think you are correct that there is active regeneration when required. I spoke with BMWNA and the dealer prior to vehicle purchase and they recommended the higher rpm run to regenerate. I was left with the mistaken impression that it was a 24/7 passive system, when it is actually a passive system except when its an active system.
