new TPMS sensors on winter wheels

Trying to get a definitive answer on TPMS for a new set of winter wheels.

Which sensors do I need to buy?

And

Will they just start working or do i need to code them (some companies offer this, but charge far more for the sensors).

Seems that these will be pre-programmed Ebay_linky

Far cheaper option....that claims to self learn
Far_cleaper_linky



Thanks!

Reviving this thread as I have same questions:

I'm looking into a winter tire/wheel package but I'm not used to the TPMS sensors being tied to the wheels.
My current car detects the tire pressure through the ABS system I believe, so any wheels I put on are automatically detected.

Are the TPMS sensors that come with the M2 easily transferred to any new wheel/tire package I buy? Or do i need to buy new sensors. I see tirerack.com offers that option.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to buy a set of sensors for the winter wheels. Bmw part number 36-10-6-856-209 for each sensor. No programming needed. Just reset your tpms from the car when you install winter wheels.

Tagging to this thread, I had my winters on last week without TPMS. Still don't have any warning lights. Is this because the system measures the difference between all 4 tires and since all of them are 0, therefore no warning light?

As I've read previously you don't have TPMS in the Canadian market.

Little confused now. Can I not run a set of wheels without TPMS?
I'm trying to debate if I want my winter setup to have TPMS or not. I tend to check my tire pressure manually anyways.
But will this throw an annoying warning light if I don't have the sensors?

I'm also confused by this. I'd rather not buy sensors for tyres I will only use for 5 months of the year.

Starting to do my research now ahead of the end of the year. I don't like the 640m wheels, gathering other wheel options available.

I'm using my second set of wheels without TPMS sensors. It gives a warning at startup and there is a yellow warning light in dashboard. That's all. No other issues.
