NO TPMS warning yet I have no TPMS om new rimss

islandbimmer · 12-12-2008, 05:49 PM

just installed the rears the tire shop mounted two right fronts on my 19"
rims . I didn't put in TPMS drove around the block and no TPMS warning only lights up when I start the car and disappears . I have a very early e92 build I'm hoping when I switch over the fronts I don't get the annoying omnipresent yellow tire pressure warning. Anyone experience this.

It's because you're in Canada. I believe Canadian cars are not equipped with TPMS (at least not on the 3 series).

for canadian bmw's, they have the FTM, not the TPMS.......so regardless if you did or didn't install the sensor you shouldn't have any problems. search tpms vs. ftm, and there should be threads about that (how to identify etc...)

actually I have an american car and I guess I just needed to drive another block, the damn light came on is now permenant. But I will tell you the non fun flat tires make the car more driveable I'm glad I switched..

glad that you didn't install the TPMS at the basketball court, I don't know what the rims would have done with them.

But I am sure the wheels on the car will need them to get rid of that pesky light
