Correct TPMS For my 08/2011 35d

Looking to buy a set of TPM sensors but having trouble confidently knowing what to buy. All I know these are 433mhz sensors.

There's information out there that E70 TPMS were changed during the life cycle, but no information exactly when.

Do I purchase just the sensor or the stem and gaskets? Any preferred vendors?

Any help is appreciated.

Current set is 7 years old and throwing malfunction message occasionally - likely due to batteries.

I just replaced mine.

Best online price I could find; and Huf is an OEM supplier...

Easy peasy; local tire shop charged me $25 to replace to replace 3 on my car

Set of 4 TPMS

Those are what I ordered. Huf is the OES for BMW I believe as mentioned above. $120 for all 4 was the best I could find. They've been on the truck with 20" wheels since August 2017 with no issues. They also verify by your VIN when ordering which is nice.

Thanks, guys!
Ordered these from Amazon (by vendor TPMS): https://www.amazon.com/TPMS-36106771.../dp/B07G7H8YPM

10$ more than at https://www.tpms.com but with free shipping, probably ended up as same total.

When putting together a snow tire set four years ago, I just bought them from Tischer. They ask for the VIN (obviously) and wheel style number. Not sure wheel style matters. Anyway, when I bought them, PKTPMS (Tischer's part number) was pretty cheap for OE sensors and included everything to put on a new set of wheels. Now, the kit is over $400. I definitely didn't pay that much. Just saying it's worth checking them out in the future. Maybe they run crazy sales on them occasionally, maybe I got lucky.

An aftermarket source is Autel. They sell universal sensors that you have to program for the application using their equipment. Sort of a pain but I found there are a few dealers in my areas that can do it and I happen to have a friend that can, too. If you want to be able to read pressure and temperature, get the Autel MaxiTPMS TS401. It makes checking pressures so easy, I'm thinking of getting a set of sensors for my M5.

The 1st TPS I bought had the valve already installed at an angle that prevented it from seating squarely against the rim. Had to tap the base of the stem with a center punch towards the base to get the angle right. The other three had the stems in a separate bag that allowed them to be set at the proper angle prior to trying to install them.
