Please help.
I have a 08, 528i with out the tpm sensors and it normally gives me an error about the tpms every time I turn the car on then it leaves the little icon and stops blinking till next time I turn the car on again, but this morning it kept coming back every 3 minutes. It shuts off, stops blinking then a minute later the chime of tpm error comes on and on. I really need any advice first time this happening to me on the 2 years I have this car.
Thank you.

Either put tpms on your wheels like its supposed to have or get the coding done to disable it.

I know the JB4 can disable this feature - not sure if there are other devices out there.

I put the wheels back, that ones with the tpm sensors, reset it, drive to work for 30 minutes no more icon every thing is ok.
Drive to lunch for 2 miles and on my way back the tpm icom comes back as soon as I turned the car on; stop the car so I can reset the Yes option but it didn't work, does any of you have had this problem before? any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

Just so you know.
I started to reading from google different threads about tpm issues and find that someone spilled soda on his trunk and had a big mess, so then I remember that 2 days ago my ice chest full of ice and drinks flipped on my car trunk, so I go and take out my spare tire and found under an electronic I think it was a PDC board all sock with water. I disconected and blowed out let it dry plug it back and it seems that evrything is working fine so far. I think I was lucky so far.
Hope this helps some one.
