The dealer is not needed to install the sensors nor is reprogramming necessary. Installing new sensors is very simple. Once the wheels are installed to your car you can just clear the TPMS warning on your iDrive. Super simple. Once you click to rest the TPMS you just drive off, eventually the yellow warning lights on the wheels on your iDrive turn green and you are good to go. (The exact process is outlined in your User's Manual)
Thought ez-sensor would make E70 TPMS setup easier, http://www.ez-sensor.com/index.html , they are talking about programmable.

Looks like it's not that complicated, BMW will pick up new sensors by itself, just wonder how the system knows tire's position, which is which. I got a winter set of 18'' wheels on the way, will order sensors and try it this way. Thank you for the info XCUSM5.
