Was one or more TPM sensor damaged during the change of wheels? Or is some kind of recalibration needed when changing wheel size?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What's missing if more detail/info about the used 18" wheels/tires you purchased. Are these oe BMW wheels or aftermarket...and what did they come off of?
As asked above...did they come from another BMW that used compatible TPM sensors? If the tires weren't removed from the wheels...then I doubt that the sensors got damaged in anyway. Just swapping the tires on/off your vehicle shouldn't damage them in anyway.
If the sensors can be checked to see if they are still sending a signal...that would indicate that their batteries still work...but are they sending the data over the correct frequency?
