With the M6 wheels i get the TPWS on with much frequency. I set then the pressure of the tires to take off the warning, but after some kilometers the warning appears again. Anyone experienced the same problem?

When I had my M166 M5 wheels fitted, as a replacement to my 18" M135s, the dealer told me to go into the iDrive car setting menu and reset the TPWS system so it knew it had a "new baseline" from which to check everything is ok or not. I did this before going anywhere in the car - did you also do this?

That is what i meant when i said that "I set then the pressure of the tires to take off the warning", because when you reset the TPWS, the system will assume that the tires pressure that you had at that moment is the correct one and will use it as baseline.

As for the pics, i need to lower the rear a bit more. Then i will post a bunch of pics.

Dear Tiago!

You mess too much with the iDrive system!

Have you contacted your dealer about all these changes and
tried to find a Progman set that works with your setup!?
