TPMS Sensors

rust99 · 12-22-2011, 01:17 PM

Did the LCI changes for the e92 introduce changes to BPMS TMPS sensors? I am having winter tires installed onto a new set of aftermarket wheels from TSW.

The TPMS sensors seem to be too wide to fit onto the new wheels (there is a gap).

Do I need to buy special TPMS sensors and / or valves -- the installer told me I needed to get narrower sensors.

I am in touch with the manufacturer and the place where I purchased the wheels. They are telling me that the OEM sensors should fit.

Your OEM TPMS sensors will fit perfectly fine on those TSW wheels. Do you have a picture of the sensor on the wheel? Which part of the sensor is too wide?

I'm a newbie to aftermarket wheels.

I may not be describing the problem correctly..from what I understand, the gasket and O ring are too wide, leaving a gap after the tire cap is placed.

The installer tried to use other nuts and gaskets as well.

The gap is on the outside of the wheel.

Which TSW wheel is this?
