My Ride: 2007 530xi Silver Grey over Black Dakota with Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, Comfort, NAV, Logic 7, Sirius, 18" 123s. Current: 2006 Lexus GX 470 2005 SLK 350 No Longer With Us: BMW 330xi; Mini Cooper S; Infiniti FX45; every Audi imaginable; various others

Saw someone else post on this subject, but thought I would post with this specific subject line to get more responses. I am about to start shopping for a winter wheel and tire package for my car. Does anyone have a definative answer to the following:

1. Are there TPM sensors attached to the wheels of the '07 cars.

2. If yes, can they be fitted to any wheels or do I need to worry about selecting a specific compatable wheels?

3. Does the new TMP system tell you which wheel is flat? Seems that the display could do this, since it shows all four wheels, but this is not clear (and i don't really want to drive over a nail to find out

). My Infiniti FX45 shows the actual psi for each tire on its display.

4. Any difference in answers for RFT vs. non-RFT?

Thanks
