TPMS inter-compatibility - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

IronSunrise · 12-10-2012, 02:25 PM

Has anyone used non-OEM TPMS sensors? The only specification that I know of is that they must be modern (aka, rigged for a central sensor) and operate at 433mhz.

Would these work?

or these?

Thanks for your help. Spending and extra $100 when I might not have to would bother me.

Cheers.

Someone on the other forum bought sensors from Tirerack and said they worked and synched up perfectly.

Non OEM sensors do work, yes.

RS Technic does a good set and you can save a few bills, but I can't vouch for any of the brands on Ebay there.

I believe discount tire sells them at a reasonable price.
