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.
