I just installed a new set of wheels and tires and they don't have TPM sensors in them - as you might imagine my car is a little confused. Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the TPMS system in the car to ignore the wheels? I've tried resetting it, but for now it goes off every time i drive the car and there is constantly an alert light illuminated on my dash.
I can't imagine that I'm the first person to have this problem - very curious how to solve it...
thanks!

Thanks, I'm not opposed to buying the TPM's if that's my only option - do I have to get them from BMW or can I get them from another after market vendor - any suggestions?

The bad news is they have to break down your wheels to install, then re-balance...
