TPMS sold by tirerack are made by Beru. Same company that makes OEM BMW TPMS. If you have to have the original ones you can get them from a BMW dealer or eBAY (used).

I don't now, maybe BERU sells those that fail quality control to Tirerack while the good ones they send to BMW. Anyway, here is the link to ebay auction just for your information: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-OEM-Tir...sQ5fAccessories

Hey did you try resetting the TPM? If so are you still getting a message?
btw- what are the specifics of the "known issue" Tire rack was telling you?

Just another data point - My OEM wheels/tires, with about 450 miles on it since new, gave me this exact error last week when the temperature dropped....
