135i ?direct Tire Pressure Monitoring?

BitAddict · 07-26-2012, 12:36 AM

Hey, does anybody know if my '08 135i has direct tire pressure sensors? I bought some tires and wheels separately in Melbourne. Evan has kindly offered to fit my new PSS tires to my aftermarket wheels and ship the whole thing to me so I can just put them on my car. But obviously if the car has direct TPMS... Then the sensors are on my stock wheels here in Sydney....

Nope, it just detects the differences in wheel spin between the tyres via the abs sensors and alerts you if one is spinning faster than the other (when its going flat).

It doesn't help when they all go down evenly though

Excellent, thats what Evans thought too although he wasnt 100%.
Better not run over any spike strips and puncture all four?!?
