Good evening,

Have a TPS fault how do I know which tire I need the sensor for? It had the fault when I bought the car.

Take it to discount tire. They can tell you which one is bad and replace it

They carry bmw sensors?? I wonder how much they run for

They can order multiple "sensor brands" that are compatible. It depends on which one(s) you decide to purchase as to how much they'll cost.

BTW, if you go to the VEHICLE STATUS screen in iDrive...don't you get an image of which tire is at fault (should be amber instead of green)? If all 4 are green, then you may have a faulty module instead of a faulty sensor.

Interesting I guess I gotta play with it a bit.

The one I went to carried BMW sensors. They were switching my tires from one set of wheels to another and somehow lost one sensor so they gave me a new BMW sensor. They showed it to me before installing it.

When I had my winter tires mounted back in 2019...I got 4 HUF TPM sensors from Discount Tire. These sensors have rubber valve stems (since they will be used during extreme winter conditions)

As previously mentioned, you can ask for BMW sensors or ask for aftermarket and they can give you a price quote. Also, if you want metal valve stems or rubber valve stems...all that can be negotiated and priced.

Good luck.

These cars are built in a way where when one sensor is bad, the entire system shuts down. You will have to take it to a shop to diagnose or if you have a BMW diagnostic software, it can tell you. That is why I advise to take it to discount tire. It’s free to diagnose and they have the sensor for you.

Ah...okay. The first icon on the VEHICLE STATUS screen will give you the TPM sensor reading...but you have to drive first. The TPM sensor only send a signal when the wheel is rotating.

The 2nd icon on the Veh Status screen is the one you select to reset/reinitialize the TPM system when you've added air or replaced/removed a wheel/tire...which starts a new baseline.

You can press the OPTION button (next to the iDrive Controller knob) and it will give you a selection to go directly to the embedded owners manual for instructions or more info about what you see on the screen.

But to reset/reinitialize the system, you must first be idle when you select the initialize prompt...then start to drive...which will then start the reset procedure.
