I wonder if you got a US based car? Or, maybe, the production delays on wheels (reportedly anyway) meant that BMW just threw a set on your car with the US valve stems and TPMS in it even if it isn't activated in your car?
I have seen 6 Canadian M3/4 and all had the rubber valve stems and no TPMS as far as I recall... or let me restate, I didn't notice a metal valve stem and I inspect the cars closely enough that I would have caught that IMO. It isn't supposed to be in a Canadian car. This is weird!
