They do NOT come with TPM sensors. With Garry's discount, you're looking at another $250-$300 for just the sensors. MAke sure you ALSO get the stems as well, for the sensors. They don't come with caps either. However, why don't you just use the old ones you have from your old wheels? Or you can just order those from Garry too. They shouldn't cost you much.

You might want to call Garry. For one, he can answer all your questions that you just asked. He and his coworkers (Scott and Sean are also great, so you don't need to just speak to Garry) are better on the phone, than email. I just ordered a boat load of product from them for my new X5. They are great. They shipped it the same day and I had it 2 days later. Just make sure you mention right off the bat that you are an E60.net member so he gives you the correct pricing.

I was a retard and got TPMS sensors for my 166's from Garry and I don't even have TPMS on my E60. LOL.

At least I'll have it for my next one?

I spoke with Garry an he said I could reuse both sensors and caps. He did suggest I get new valves buy I'm not sure why I would need them. Could someone explain...

He quoted me $1546 for the wheels and $130 for shipping.
Oh, yeah, duh! Sorry. Since I have 2 sets of wheels (winter and summer), I have to have 2 sets of sensors . So yes, you can reuse your old ones. And your caps too. But yes, get new valves. These are the stems I was talking about. They're cheap. I think they're like $9 for each wheel. These are what the sensors connect to. Since you are getting new wheels, just get new valves for them. It's much cleaner. Garry is right.

As for that quote, that sounds good. Do it up!
