TPMS
Already thinking about the winter and wondering if Canadian Cars are fitted with TPMS this time around or if they still use the stability and traction systems to detect a flat like the previous M3?
If we are fitted with TPMS, I guess we would need to get a second set for winter wheels to avoid errors being displayed all winter? |

No true TPMS, just traction control systems that measure rotational differences.

TPMS not required in Canada. Its a US only requirement. Canada and rest of the world from what I understand is done via sensors on the breaking system where it monitors the rotational rate of the tire. Some Japanese autos sold in Canada do need TPMS, since they are manufactured to meet US requirements, but in your case you don't have to worry about it.

F8X likely followed suit since the F3X uses TPMS.

Guys, I switched rims on my car but used stock tires. After unmounting the wheels, there are actually TPMS sensors back there. So I guess the question is 1) do we have a receiver on the car (my guess is yes, cause they are too lazy to create a different production stream just for a small radio receiver) and 2) how do we code the car to activate it!
Stanley, you want to give it a shot?

Good to know! Did you get it working?

Would you consider posting DIY instructions? Having a TPMS would be great.
This makes no sense to me. Why would BMW disable a useful safety system just because a stupider system meets minimal regs? It's not as though a FTMS doesn't alert the driver about a flat. |

I didn't get the sensors (my stems are rubber) for the wheels for some reason, so I didn't brother coding it, but I am looking into buying them in the future.

I will when I get to it, or someone wants me to try it on theirs.

I am glad they use the "stupider" system as you not need to have the sensors in every set of wheels than you use.I had 3 sets of track wheels at one point for my E92's and that would be a pain to have sensors in all those wheels.

I agree that it would add costs, but wouldn't the real time readout of tire pressures in each tire be of value?

Interesting... so some cars have it and some don't... I was at Simply Tire. They said I had TPMS as soon as they saw my car, since the valve stems were metal as opposed to rubber. I was denying it until they popped the wheel off and saw it. Farley doesn't have it and has rubber stems. Perhaps that's how you can tell easily?

Which from what I can tell is easy to do.

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!
