Help!!! Flat-Tire Monitor Sensor

Hello fellow members!!! I recently installed 19" aftermarket wheels on my e90 and the Flat Tire Monitor sensor is still on. Does anyone know how to shut it off without having to go to a dealer to turn it off with the computer?? I greatly appreciate it.

Why not just buy the sensors for the tires?

e90's don't use sensors, the system just looks for rotational rate. You just need to reset it. Look in your owners manual for details but basically you put key in, click the i menu, go to settings, go to tires, then start car then click something like FTM (flat tire monitor) or maybe TPM (tire pressure monitor), click reset then drive off.

Read your manual, as radgator says, it is simply a matter of resetting the system. The E90 has no special TPMS sensors.
