2011 E90 328 ? Tpms ?

Ndx · 03-02-2012, 10:31 PM

Hi Guys,

So does the LCI come with TPMS or its traction based ?
My valves are black rubber no metal.

Thx

BMW is no longer using a passive system, so you should have an active TPMS.

Ndx · 03-02-2012, 10:53 PM

So I guess active with rubber valves ?

Is there a way to compress tire and remove valves by myself ... ? or I have to go to the shop ?

Thx

Yes. I have removed my TPMS without removing the tire.

Yes, OEM RFTs.

Correct.

BTW, please don't tell me you are trying this yourself.

Would the process work in reverse? I purchased some OEM 189 wheels that were off of a 2007 335i coupe for my 2011 335D. Of course the sensors in the 189 wheels don't work with my system. But I was going to take the TPMS sensors from my 17 inch wheels I took off and use them on the new wheels. Just checking to see if that will work.

OP, as you are in Canada, you might want to check with a dealer as BMW Canada stayed with the rotation based FTM system when the US went to the in wheel TPMS sensors back in 2007.

And since the BMWCA website mentions TPI (Tire Pressure Indicator) rather than TPMS, I suspect that is still the case.

TOM K!

good point !

In Canada we do not have TPMS we have the other system that calculates via the tire rotation. Don't worry about sensors or just make a call to your dealer
