Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors (TPMS) on LCI X5s (2010+)

[mjh222]

Quick clarifying question ... for those of us looking to have a separate set of winter wheels/tires, is it recommended to have a 2nd set of TPMS as well rather than swap the TPMS from the non-winter wheel/tire set?

Thanks!

For the $250 or so, I would think it would simply be easier to have a second set of sensors.

I was told that if you get a "novice" handling the TPMS unit and it gets damaged in the tire/rim swaps it is more painful to troubleshoot, rather than get a wheel/rim set with it's on set of "Correct BMW X5 compatible" TPMS sensors.
After I had 3 trips to the Discount Tire and 1 to BMW dealer over two weeks (all for TPMS fault-related issues), I would say it is money well spent.
