How do I check if I have TMPS sensors in my F10 wheels
Can anyone tell if there's an easy way to know if your car has TPMS sensors in the wheels?

I don't know what year the change to place, but the earlier tpms system didn't have sensors in the wheels, it worked by comparing the rotational speed of each wheel against the others and was part of the ABS system. If tyre pressure dropped, the rolling radius of that tyre would change, and as a consequence the rotational speed, which would trip the tpms. Either your car had that system which is now faulty, or your wheels have been swapped but the sensors haven't been replaced.

Is there a way to see if the system has gone faulty? I recently purchased the car so I can't say anything about the wheels being replaced. |

Use the link to decode your Vin number, that should tell you what was originally fitted which might help |

No prob, although I'm not sure why you have the option in iDrive if you don't have the sensors, maybe the iDrive has been replaced with a later one.
