I think the flat tire monitor uses the abs sensors to detect differences in wheel speed to detect a flat. You could add the TPMS monitors easily, but I don't think you would be set up for the detector part with your car. Let us know where you live and what vehicle you have.

no.... thats my other vehicle.
i have an 06 550i. but i dont think that matters, does it? i thought all the older (pre-07?) e60's had FTM (flat tire monitor), and all post 2007 cars have tpms.

Correct you are, prior to 07 models all E60's were equipped with FTM instead, which for me works fine. Good luck on the upgrade, sorry I can't provide any assistance pointing you in the right direction
