TPMS Purchase...
I purchased new OEM wheels for winter and need to buy OEM TPMS. Can anyone here recommend the best vendor/sponsor or site to purchase them from? (By best I mean competitively priced and reliable.)

Thanks.

I thought all BMWs use the ABS starwheel to monitor tire pressure. When tire psi drops. rotation rate increases (in relation to other wheels), pulse rate from starwheel increases, low pressure light comes on.

You have sensors on the OE wheels???

I guess BMW switched to sensors on the wheel.....

BMW Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor (TPMS) - Turner Motorsport

The ABS approach is used on non-US versions

Not true, my '05 330i ZSP had the starwheel system.

Well aware. I've owned several BMWs and currently looking at a few used E70s, currently own an E53. Lurking to see posssible issues/differences.

my m3 has abs but the x5 has the tpms in the wheel. i have seen pricing anywhere between $200-$350 for a set w/ the valve stems however i do not want some knock-off replica part from china that will fail prematurely. anyone here know of a place to purchase the oem parts at a discount?

I think I answered that in the post prior to your post...."Lurking to see posssible issues/differences."

One of the functions of X Outpost is allowing possible future owners a place to go online to see what differences/issues they will encounter after purchase (I think that was stated in a prior post too).

Having owned 4 BMWs, 3 with TPMS (with several tire/rim sets for each), none had wheel mounted sending units.
