TPMS question

blackbimmer2002 · 03-15-2011, 07:49 AM

I need to buy new rims/tires. I have a 2007 328xi coupe.
Would the 2011 TPMS work with my car?

Thanks.

NO
I HAD THE SAME THING. WENT FROM 07 E92 TO 11 E92. THE SENSORS ARE DIFFERENT. HAD TO BUY 4 NEW ONES. SOLD THE OLD ONES ON EBAY

On my 2007 model there are no sensors in the rims. It just monitors if the roll distance between the wheels changes. So if you put on rims with sensors from a 2011 car, those sensor simply won't do anything. Your original system will keep on monitoring your tires.

Ohh OP drives an E92. Oopsie.

So...My on board display will read..."TPMS malfunction"?

Yes, but it goes away quickly. I thought I'd be annoyed by the TPMS light on my '11 when I ran my TPMS/winter set up from my '07, but it didn't bother me one bit.

Verbiage · 03-15-2011, 11:03 AM

Is there a way for coding to fix that?

My late '06 build code '07 e92 335i has a TPMS system in it.
