Yeah, that sucks! I have an idea. Take off one rim at a time and replace it with an OEM one. Once the malfunction goes away, you'll know which wheel's TPMS is faulty. If you end up with all 4 OEM's on and the fault is still there, it's not your wheels. Just a thought.

If you have to drive around the block with mismatched wheels to try and reset them, no biggie. It's a pain to do though.

 

That sucks, but this was the main reason why I don't buy wheels and tires pre-mounted and delivered. For one, I made sure I got BMW OEM sensors and not aftermarket. I like to have everything shipped a la carte and then installed locally.

I would definitely have the shop unmount each wheel, one at a time, like Dave said above, and swap each TPM sensor with an OEM one. Take it for a spin and see what happens. If these work, do all the wheels and then take your old sensors, send them back to the vendor you got them from and have them refund youo the money.

 

This does suck. I have a friend that owns an Active Green & Ross (which is a tire and auto centre here in Ontario). I think I'll just take it to him tomorrow. I don't even have my own jack or anything. I'll see what he can do. He won't charge much. I wonder how easy it would be to damage the sensors? They were shipped from Cali. so who knows.

 

Thats a good idea, and what I will do if they are faulty sensors. Send em back and get a refund. This sucks large :thumbsdown: I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

Call BMW and find out if there's a way to detect a faulty TPMS inside the tire without removing anything. That could be a real time saver.

 

Another good idea. Will do first thing tomorrow morning. I hope there is a way

 

Perhaps there's a problem with the TPM module on your car. I had a similar problem (although it did not occur when I put my new tires on). To make a long story short, there was a bad trunk seal that allowed water into the area where the spare tire is stored and this water then caused the TPM module (which is below the storage area) to fail. My dealer replaced the module and trunk seal and no more problems.

 

I took it to BMW today. They said there are no TPM sensors intalled. I told Bavarianx, they were in disbelief (or faking it) lol and said they will send some out today and pay for the installation of them. Pretty dumb I didn't notice, but it did look like they were on by the look of the valve stem. Ah well, at least it explains everything. Thanks for all the help guys. If this problem reoccurs after I get them here I'll know what to look for.
