FS: 19" OEM Rims (Black) w/ MPSS Tires
Located in Edmonton, AB.
Have a set of 4 OEM F80 M3 Rims, 19" in Black with brand new MPSS tires. Tires are mounted/balanced from factory. Just bolt them on your car and go. Pulled these off my car in November (at time of vehicle purchase) and swapped to my winter setup. Have been sitting in my garage since. Asking $3500 CAD. Willing to ship anywhere in Canada via greyhound, or meet within a few hours drive. PM for any questions. **Updated** Last edited by Kartelli; 04-14-2015 at 01:32 PM.. |

Out of curiosity, how do you have TPMS on Canadian OEM tires?
I didn't think any of ours came with that hardware as the cars aren't set up for it....

Good question, my car has the Tech/Executive/Premium packages. The 19" rims have the tpms in them (im not sure which package it does come with...) how do I know, I drove without tpms on my winter setup and had the annoying lights on the dash all winter

If so, I'm not sure that means you have TPMS sensors - it likely just means you needed to reset the tire pressure monitor as that is how the passive TPMS system most Canadian cars have works...

they definitely need a wash from sitting all winter! they have literally 10 kilometers on the set (was nasty outside in november). Drove the car home from the dealership, and then back to dealership when my winter set arrived.

myzmak is correct... likely the flat tire monitoring (passive) system needs resetting. M3Fanatics... No, because Canadian cars do NOT have TPMS. This is a very well known fact and something I know for sure with my own car. They have FTM in Canadian cars which compares tire rotation to determine if one tire is out of sync. If the OP has TPMS, he either has a non-Canadian car or a Canadian freak OP... the tire in your photo looks like it has a black rubber valve stem. A car with TPMS has a metal, non-flexible, valve stem. Check the valve stems and if they are black rubber, there is no TPMS.

To expand a bit, the Canadian system (sometimes called 'indirect' or 'passive' TPMS does not measure the absolute tire pressure like you see in the cars south of the border (with the fancy display, etc). Rather, all the system does is measure the relative wheel diameters of the 4 tires by measuring the rotational speed of the wheel (i believe it does this via the ABS). If one tire loses pressure, its diameter will be reduced. That means that to go as far, the tire will have to turn over more times (think about how many times you have to roll a 1" disc vs a 10" disc to go 5 feet...) Turning over more times to go the same distance as the rest of the car means that the rotational speed for that one wheel will be increased. Your car will assume that comes from a tire pressure loss and, voila! the light goes on. Unfortunately, i know ALL about that because on my old 328 xi I had a terrible terrible experience with some summer wheels i bought that, due to poor installation of hard-to-install low profile RFT tires, they were just destroyed and leaked constantly. the 'beep' of the tire pressure system was a constant companion for me one very, very frustrating summer. The system sometimes gets fooled up here because of cold weather. In really cold weather the tire can lose a bit of pressure or size (cold air is condensed) and the system can go off. Happens all the time to my mom's Ford Escape. She lives in Sask so, like OP (in Edmonton) can get very cold weather. The original systems were kind of stupid because, as mentioned, it is all based on relative speed. If (somehow) you had an equal loss of pressure in all 4 tires you'd get no warning because, relative to each other, the wheels would still be spinning at the same rate. The new systems apparently can measure a loss in all 4 at once....though i dont know how well it all works. Once you have corrected the issue, you have to reset the system via the iDrive. What i've always wondered is why Canadian cars don't get the fancy-schmancy TPMS they get down south. It would be sooooooo much more convenient. Worth the modest cost of the little monitors.....

In response, though, I would tend to think: - on an 80k+ car, the cost of the TPMS isn't too bad for a second set of tires. - agree that making sure they all communicated would be a PITA - but I am lazy and usually get the dealer or a tire shop to do the swap anyway (I was gonna buy a good jack and torque wrench and do my own with this car....but I got busy, it got nice and, wouldn't you know it, today Lucy is at the dealership and they are doing he work for me....). Dealerships can make sure they work as, I expect, can any reputable tire shop. I would also note that when mandatory TPMS was first brought into the USA in 2007 many of the above points were raised. Since that time...I don't hear much complaining about it there - seems to be working out. And the benefit of convenience in being able to read pressure on the iDrive screen would be nice. I hate checking the pressure in the winter and have been known to get lazy on doing so..... (final point: to a limited extent the indirect TPMS is required up here; RFTs essentially require it because, without some TPMS, the driver would have no idea until the tire was truly dead)

Thanks for the clarification guys, I was not aware of the Canadian rim set not having TPMS.
Regardless, someone buy this literally brand new set! I'll wash and post updated pictures here shortly |

Just so you guys know, my factory rims came with sensors in the rims, but the car wasn't programmed to read them. Not sure how that happened. How do I know? I swapped tires from factory rims to aftermarket ones. Guys at SimplyTire asked if I have TPMS, I said no. They said, are you sure? I said yes. And then, they unmounted the tire, and I looked like a fool. LOL!

Don't know about Canadian M3/4 though as I'm waiting to place my order later in the year (hopefully) for a 2016 model.... |

Crazy. I wonder how common that is...... ...and then I wonder if it is possible to program the car to read them. Yeah, there are some manufacturers that include the full-mean-deal system in Canada (too much of a PITA to send different cars to Canada and USA) but BMW is not one of them. We just get the indirect system (and, apparently, sometimes the sensors too....)

I asked at dealer if I got the wheel sensors if they could recode the car to use the U.S. style direct system. They said they could not, because Canadian cars do not have the proper receiver(s) and that part is a factory install.
Would be interested to know if that is true or not. |
