Ride height or pressure monitoring?

Hi all,
Is the tire pressure monitoring on the M235i a ride height system or a physical tire pressure monitoring system?
Cheers,

Physical tire pressure via sensors in the valve stems. On some cars as not all cars are equipped with tmps depending on locale.

US gets the expensive TPMS via stem sensor...Canadians get FTM via rotational sensor

This is interesting. I'm in Toronto so I assume I got the FTM.
Could you please instruct me on how I can double check this?
I need t get my winter setup and if I don't need TPSM then it will send me a few hundred $.

You do not need TPMS. My car in calgary has ftm which just uses the wheel speed sensors.

If you are that concerned ask your parts department what comes with a winter tire package for your car...

We've been discussing this in the Canadian forum. Someone thinks the Canuck cars with RFT get TPMS, but I haven't seen that confirmed.
