How does TPS work between winter/summer wheelsets?

Hey there, new x535d owner here -- I'm considering moving to a 19" or 20" summer wheel and keeping my 18" stock wheels for winter tires. I'd switch out wheels at appropriate times, but I was wondering what other x5 drivers do about the TPS monitors in the wheels.

Do you have the same TPS montiors switched from wheel to wheel twice a year? Do you not have them in your winter wheels? Do you have a second set in the winter wheels and somehow tell the x5 to look for those as well? (I thought changing TPS was a pain that required a trip to the dealer to reset)

If the new/other wheels have sensors installed in them too all you gotta do is reinitialize the flat tire monitor after the swap so it can see/read the new sensors.
