Questions regarding TPMS, or the ABS version for the 2005 545i,
1: does anyone know which version is on this car?
2: if it has the abs version, can it be upgraded to a true TPMS?

Has the abs system and not upgradable without a lot of money spent for very little gain. IN general tire pressure monitoring is a nice feature but probably not something I would pay for in general nevermind upgrading one to another. The thing lets you know when somethings off-so go stick a pressure guage on the car. There is no real benefit of the current TPMS. Sure the tpm system now is a better system and the only real problem with the abs sytem is its less sensitive and on the odd chance all 4 tires lose air equally it wont alert you to anything but come on-how often would that ever happen in life signiifigantly enought o cause a problem-wooops why did all 4 tires lose 20psi-just doesnt happen.
So live with what you got and be happy you have something

Congrats on the purchase-a great car and I bet you are enjoying it. I still enjoy mine equally as much each day I get in almost a year later-took me a few mods along the way to keep the grin as wide but nonetheless I love it
