As for the Tire Pressure Monitors ... you will need to install one on each new wheel. They are monitored individually.
After wheel and tire installation the TPMSs are reset using the iDrive. If you don't have an owner's manual download the one for your car here:

your car dont have a TPMS system. you have a FTM(flat tire monitor) system, which uses the abs sensors to determine if you have a flat. it doesnt give out actuall pressure readings. a flat tire/wheel will typically spin faster than the rest of the wheels, then a warning is thrown.
thanks alot for the info ur a big help
