How to know if a wheel is fitted with TPMS

Mecaut · 06-29-2020, 02:20 AM

I bought a set of Genuine 5 Series BMW wheels to replace the ones currently fitted.

My car requires the TPMS so I hope these wheels came with the sensors fitted.

Based on the attached pictures would be possible to confirm if the wheels are fitted with the TPMS? The valves are stiffer than normal so not sure if that can help.

Not sure about overseas but here the stem would be metallic.

You are correct, I went to a BMW dealership today and some cars have the metallic stem. All clear now. Thanks.
