TPMS Question?

pkancel · 03-28-2014, 06:04 PM

Anyone know if 2011 had two different TPMS systems part numbers? I ask because I installed a set of 19s wheels/tires from another member that has a 2011 535i. It was his OE wheels/tires. I put them on my 2011 528i and getting a malfunction error. I have attempted to reset it several times, it goes through the reset process but then pops back up with the same malfunction like the car isn't reading the TMPS in each wheel. I went over to Americas Tire hoping one of them was not reading and unfortunately all 4 are reading just fine. Any idea?

Yes, the TPMS sensors changed in 9/2010 during the 2011 model.

Thanks pal, bummer, I checked and my car is 8/10 and the wheels I bought are from in 2011. Looks like I'll have to switch them out.

Yep, I had the same issue last year with my car.
