That damn TPMS indicator..

So I recently got wheels on my 128i, without TPMS.

Now I have a decision to make and would like to hear fellow members opinion if you've gone through this as well.

Would it be better to code out the warning, or should I just suck it up and dish out the money to have my tires de-mounted/remounted with tpms thrown on.

I have them already installed on my stock wheels so it would be de-mounting and remounting 8 times total (tire shop will love me for that)

Depends if you want to use the alternative wheel sensor system or not. If you have a jb4 you can just supress the signal. That's what I'm doing at the moment since one or more of my tpms are dead and I'm waiting to replace when I get new tires.

I certainly vote for coding it out, save yourself hundreds of dollars...

While you're at it, enable the wheel-speed system as mentioned above, so you retain piece of mind.

Fight the man.

Wish this was something we could do easily with Carly.
