Newb here, can I put on a set of the wheels that without the TPMS on it? I am looking for my winter set soon. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can, but I would not recommend it:
-you will have message saying malfunction on TPMS - can possibly be killed.
-you will, probably, install non-RFT:s - then TPMS is even more valuable - together with kit with slime/sealent and 12V compressor.

I bought pirate sensors at half price - local shop programmed both sensors and vehicle - no problem.

Since sensors are not active unless rotation - life goes up from nominally 5-7 years to 7-10 years, when winter tires.

Many thanks to the OP and subsequent reply from Tjalle. This has answered a question I was about to ask! Thank you both.

Thank you very much. So I will try my local tire shop to make sure the sensors would compatible with the new winter set.

Sure to post the winter pics later.

Just make sure it is the responsibility of tire shop to have sensors connect to vehicle.

In order to check that display identifies correct tires, you could start with different pressure.

There is no TPMS on Canadian X1s. The system uses rotational speed to measure tire pressure. I got winters rims put on last year and they verified that there is no TPMS.

I second this. The Canadian vehicles don't have TPMS, instead they use the ABS to sense when there is a flat. No pressure readout. Easy reset when swapping on winters. It was like this on my 3 and is like this on my 1 series. Picking up X1 on Monday :-)

I have a E92 and I never understood how the flat-sensing worked. When I swap in and out of winter tires, I didn't even need to reset. But one time I have a flat on mynon-run-flat winters, I got a warning. I have a Canadian model to.

I assume X1 behaves exactly the same? As I plan to swap in winter tires myself.

Sorry for the delayed reply, when i swapped the winters on I just had to go to the idrive and reset them, then no more issue. If you don't it might sense that you have a flat.

Just installed tpms sensors and activited them:

What model / year? My Canadian X1 just measures rotational speed for TPMS. Does this mean I can optionally install TPMS and code the car to use it?
