I believe???? that the Max number of sensors that can be programmed is actually 5. The 5th theoretically being for a "spare".

So I would expect you would have to continue to reconfigure after each wheel swap.

I luckily have all the equipment, however, I am not swapping wheels!

Most Pro level scan tools can support TPMS programming, BUT, many shops do not have the TPMS readers. Go figure.

I do not believe these cars have the ability to put the TPMS into a "Learn" mode and then letting the air out of the tires to "force" the TPMS sensor to "talk/broadcast". Some vehicles have a simpler process where the vehicle can automatically "learn" sensors while the user deflates and inflates the tires without expensive tools or software.

But knowing BMW, why would they do this because BMW wants the vehicles brought back to the dealer so the dealers can continue to make more money than they deserve.
