Gary,

Will the TPMS sensors you carry work on a 2007 E60 525i ? or do you carry those.

Yes, and Yes. Same sensor so same cost.

might be a stupid question but what the hell

does one need to have the tpms, if getting another set of rims/tires?

i dont really care about the car telling me i have low pressure or a flat. these are both things i can figure out myself, and i dont do a lot of driving anyways

if i put on a set of new rims and rubber with no tpms, will i have to reset anything in my car?

oh and i am in canada by the way, so i assume i have tpms, or something like it

If you can live ithe the "ding" sound and error warning sign on your console all the times when you drive, then save your $200. I wouldn't do that if I were you. BTW, looking at the list of cars that you have owned, I'm supprised that you tried to save $200 for a safety feature on your car.

Call me if you'd like to get a set on their way.

Hi Garry, I tried to order one set of TPMS for my 07 328 through your link, but the website didn't allow me to order them without ordering wheel/tire package. Do I need to call you to order only?

Yes, these aren't available online so please feel free to give me a call should you like to order a set.

After browsing through Ebay I have been tempted to buy a nice set of 18" wheels.
After some research on the TPMS subject, I got scared about the fact that each sensor has its own ID and that has to be taught to the ECU.
If that is true, no matter how I get new rims with new OEM sensors, I still have to take them to the BMW dealer to reprogram the ECU. Is that right?
I would like to have some insight from somebody that has successfully replaced his/her stock wheels by a completely new set of wheels + tires + TPMS and how they had it done to avoid the annoying warning messages in the dashboard.
What happens if I go back to the stock wheel set? Does the ECU have to be reprogrammed again?
Thank you.

Part #'s are:
Valves: 36111095375 list 12.85 each, online 10.28 each
Modules: 36236779490 list 45.55 each, online 36.44 each

I know these are compatible with CSL's but no clue on the iforge. You can also use your existing TPMS as long as they work with the wheel. Lots of threads on this btw. Now I just need to figure out the best way to paint these black to match the CSL's.

I am getting Morr VS7, will these OEM sensors fit? I am not finding much factual information regarding TPMS installation for new rims.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the OEM sensors will work fine. Order them up from Gary@Tirerack and save a few bucks too.

Thanks, I got the parts from Tischer.

Will update once I get it all mounted and ready.

Your stock ones will work fine with your Iforged wheels. I pulled mine out and used them in mine.

So for instance, if i were to install TPMS sensors in my wheels which are set to something like 41lbs in the rear and 38lbs in the front and they're 20" wheels with unltra low profile tires, what would the tpms do then?

Boost,

I have the the OEM sensors in my 20s. I run 38 all around. I had a slow leak in a tire and I noticed it would trigger my TPMS when it hit around 25psi. It did it consistently.

There is no programming or learning required. The car is able to detect which quadrant of the car has a sensor I believe. My only proof is that when I had my new wheels and sensors in my car and on my way to get them installed, I received a low pressure warning in my rear passenger tire. I happened to have the box of TPM's in the trunk on the passenger side. I checked the pressure on the tire, everything was good. Therefore, the car must have connected to the sensors in the box and not the wheel. Hence my reasoning for proximity sensing for the sensors.

Trust me on this, I swapped four wheels with TPM's for four different wheels with four TPM's. No attention was paid to which sensor went where and the TPM monitoring works just dandy.

And for those that think they do not need TPM's with run flat tires, you are not smart enough to own a nice car IMO. With a run flat tire, how do you tell if the tire is ever low without TPM? Had that crossed your mind. Unless you monitor pressures regularly (i.e. every day) you will not know when things get too low or you have a nail in a tire. With a normal tire, it goes flat, the car pulls to one side, it bulges...not with run flats.

Dear Hoehne

Thank you for advising and I apologize for the late response (been out of country and the wheel project got delayed, so the response).

I have just got 199 wheels and tires and the TPMS are expected at any time.

Will do as you just said.

Best regards, Flavio

There is a pretty easy work-around for the TPMS sensors. I will start a new thread with the info. Nate

How do you know if you car has TPMS in the wheels or mounted on the car??
I have an 06 330i.. and am looking to get new wheels...
Will the dealer give you this info?
