synching new TPMS sensors
Im sorry if this has been readily discussed, but I dont have my 135i yet, and I wanted to know what the procedure is for synchronizing new TPMS sensors with our ECUs?
Thanks.

Ordered wheels from Tire Rack. They shipped the wheels with 4 TPMS sensors. The tire store inserted them when they mounted the tires on the new wheels. When I got home I just swaped out the stock wheels and run flats with the new wheels and tires and drove off. No issue. At wintertime I put the stock wheels back on with run flat snows (and the BMW OEM TPMS) and drive off. No issue.

I would not use old wheels like that! You know... metal DOES fatigue and crack. Esp since our cars can generate some serious speeds. I would buy new wheels or some good used wheels - that are fairly new.

Really? 8 yr old wheels? Im riding on expensive Fikse FM-10s now on my summer setup and ive never heard of folks throwing out wheels like this because of age. But then, you learn something every day, I guess! Now, my winter wheels are nowhere near the quality of the forged Fikses, so perhaps your point does fit those.. but not all wheels Im pretty sure.

"That's the basics on tires, now we'll move on to wheels. Tires wear out, but wheels don't, so why would you want to change wheels? For many there's no reason to, especially when you look at some of the very attractive wheels that come on many of today's cars as original equipment. The way we see it, why would you bother to change wheels on such cars as a Corvette C6, late-model Mustang GT or Shelby GT500, or the 17-inch or 18-inch sport package wheels that come on the current 3 series BMW? But, of course, some cars have hokey wheels that need to be turned into flowerpots. As such, one of the two main reasons most people consider a wheel change is simply for looks. A better-looking wheel makes a world of difference on many cars and trucks. Besides appearance, the plus concept is a key reason to switch wheels. Plus sizing your wheels and tires is the best way to improve both the performance and appearance of your vehicle."
