I do know that is how the E46 M3 worked, but I also know the M3 did not have the complicated sensors this X5 is using to measure it. The M3 used the ABS sensors to measure wheel RPM to do the rotational math and ultimately determine if one tire was getting low.
Next week I'll call a Master Tech that I know and find out if he knows how this really functions, by RPM or actual Pressure.

thanks. i thought if it's being attached at the actual tire pressure valves, it must be reading some pressure... otherwise, couldn't it be mounted anywhere if it was just measuring wheel spin? please let us know what you learn... i'm very curious. thanks!
