You may have gotten that impression if reading a thread about the pre facelift e53s. I believe they used the direct system (sensors in the wheels).

Let me check some info I have.

EDIT: Yep, up to a 4/2004 build date...the direct tire monitoring system was optional on the e53. Then starting with the 4/2004 build date-up...the indirect system became standard equipment.
