You should probably change your signature. Some of us search these forums at work and having a woman grabbing her boobs isn't exactly what I want coming up on my work screen.

If this sight allows these kinds of images to be used for signature, then I know I won't be visiting this website at work, or visiting it anywhere in public or around anyone that might find it offensive.

Some state require your '07 and up vehicle to have functional TPMS sensors installed to pass their state inspection.

So removing them may not be the best thing to do.

Plus why would you want such a useful feature stripped out of your car?

This is true, however, a new set of tpms will run you about an extra $200 when getting new wheels. Thats some nice pocket change!

Maybe it is just me personally...

But I would rather know the current pressure on all 4 tires to prevent uneven wear or unneeded damage on my tires.

Which I am sure cost more for one than all 4 sensors.

Plus...

- you can switch your sensors to the new wheels.

My Ride: A Car

Just put those TPMS on. You're driving a BMW. TPMS is a REALLY good safety item. I remembered back in the days when there was no TPMS, I had a CLK55 AMG. I had a few drinks of "water" and drove it at autobahn speeds. Got home and next morning, I woke up to see a crazy bent wheel and no tire. The tire was low on air and I cracked it. I was lucky I didnt lose control
