Hi,

If you replace RFT with non-RFT, do BMW service have to change any settings/coding with the E60. I was told sometime back that this may have to be done.

I think when changing wheels/tyres you need to reset the tyre pressure warning system in the iDrive, but nothing in the coding of the software. I remember seeing the dealership resetting something in the iDrive when they swapped my 18s to the 19s. Can anyone confirm if this is for all tyre / wheel changes?

Sorry ! !You are so right !

I changed from wintertires to summertires two weeks ago, and every time I do this, I get a flat tire warning. Just reset the system in the iDrive (i-menu) and drive, and the system will calibrate the new setup..

Yes, you just reset (recalibrate) your tyre pressure control through the settings in the i-drive menu and that's it. I'm on my fourth set of wheels on the car, so you can believe me.

Unless you have the latest pressure control system sitting in the valves. Then you require these to be fitted to the new wheels. (not the same valves, but the system)

Don't forget to order the full kit including jack and tools rather than just the spare - it is a neat kit that fits within the spare

Afaik, the dealers only offer it as a kit. When specced on the new car it was about ? 75,-, as a retro fit their standard charge for it is (or was) ? 154.42 plus VAT making it a whopping 181 quid. I got mine from a German dealer after a little negotiation for 125,-. The UK dealer wouldn't move, but worth a try.

If you get it, when you get to fit it, don't forget to take out the carpet liner in the spare wheel well, otherwise it don't fit properly.
