How do I know if my wheels have tpms

r!der · 04-20-2009, 04:20 PM

if the wheels on my 2007 335i (sport/premium) are equipped with tpms?

do you have nav?

If so, check the idrive info. menu.

Let some air out of your tires and see if the sytem throws a warning. Make surey you have a pump handy.

Or look at the valve stems. TPMS has different stems than the system that monitors wheel rotational velocity.

Rubber stem = no TPMS
Metal Stem = TPMS
My 07 335 is an early production so no sensor in the wheel, but it's monitored thru the ABS system.

You most likely have TPMS...if you want, go to a pump and reflate a tire, if the system shows a low tire it will alert you, then pump tire back up!

No NAVI. System will throw a warning when low. Valve stems are rubber.

Ok, just refreshed and saw bim's post.

So if I buy wheels I obviously don't need to buy TPMS, will the low pressure warning still work with 19s?

If you have a Coupe, it has TPMS. If you have a sedan, all sedans built 3/07 and later have TPMS. That is for the US.

Yes, as long as you don't have TPMS. I also assume you have a sedan.

I have a sedan built 02/07.
If it's monitored thru the ABS system, will it still operate normally with 19's?

Thanks for the help DrGP!

Craig@SupremePower · 04-20-2009, 06:17 PM

I have coupe 05/07 build with 19 inch wheels and aluminium stems but no TPMS sensor in the wheels. Does this mean its controlled through the ABS ? Based in Europe
