why are new TPMS sensors not working?
if I have a new set of TPMS sensors, do they require any programming by BMW? I got a new set of wheels and purchased a set of TPMS sensors/valves from a dealership. However, they are not working properly.
I know there was some change in the sensors from year to year, but would hope the BMW dealership actually sold me the correct ones based on the VIN provided to them. It wasn't just a random dealer either, it was a board sponsor, so I like to believe they are a little more knowledgeable about these things. Am I giving them too much credit?

Either you have to reset the TPMS, which you do through idrive, or you got the wrong ones. I ordered TPMS from a sponsor as well and got the wrong ones. I eventually got the correct ones from a BMW dealership.

double checked with the dealer who I bought the TPMS sensors from and he assures me that the part # I have received should work. But I still think he is wrong.
The dealer has suggested maybe the sensors were damaged during installation. While I doubt that, knowing the quality of the work that I go to is top notch, lets say one unit broke. I would think that wouldn't make the whole system not work. Part # I received are 36-23-6-798-726 From what I have read online, 2013 535 require a new part # and the one that I have received will not work. Per post 15 in this thread, http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=643644 Can anyone verify for certain if my problem is that the sensors I have will not work for a 2013?

I found the part on realoem here, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...36&fg=15&hl=12 But it doesn't show a date. I just want to be able to send the info to the dealership where I bought the sensors so I can get them to exchange for the new ones.

So what's the consensus on this? If I want a second set of wheels ... I can simply buy another set of TPMS sensors for the 2nd set of rims ... and swap as I wish onto the vehicle, as long as I do a TPMS reset via iDrive ... the car will automatically detect the sensors that are on the vehicle ... and I do not need a dealership visit whenever I want to swap rims?

I purchased a set of wheels/tires/sensors from a forum member that came off his 2014 535i. I looked up the part number for the sensors on realoem.com and I thought the sensors would work with my 2011 535xi, but I am getting errors and low tire readings after multiple resets. Sometimes it would be ok, but the errors would always return after I restart the car. The part number as others have indicated is 36106856227. Based on realoem this should work for F10s going back to 9/2010 production date. The production date of my car is 8/2011. I guess I have no choice now but to order the older model sensors (#36106790054) which should have ended, based on realoem. Thoughts?
