Amazon pricing looks good. Agreed about the leeriness after some of the threads. Before I push the "buy" button, wanted to be sure there were no surprises. $216 installed isn't too shabby at TR (now that I know they are the OEM Continentals.)

Yep. Definitely going with Amazon. Geniune OEM part for $59 each! Sold!

Just FYI, I'm awaiting an inquiry to Tirerack with regard to their experience to date on the TPMS sensors. Notes here.

We shall see.

Cheers,

Charlie

I just had a set of OEM TPMS that I bought on Amazon for $59 each installed. Synced up and reset on the first try within about five miles of driving. :thumbs:

Sweet! Just for reference, which ones did you get from Amazon? Can you post the link?

Amazon.com: OEM GENUINE BMW TPMS 36106856209 Fits: F30/F32 F80/F82 M3/M4 X5/X6 F22 M235i 2014+ Mini Cooper: Automotive Amazon.com: OEM GENUINE BMW TPMS 36106856209 Fits: F30/F32 F80/F82 M3/M4 X5/X6 F22 M235i 2014+ Mini Cooper: Automotive

I had a pop up that said it would not fit my 2015 Mini Cooper. Ignore it. The description states 2014+ Mini Cooper and has the correct part number. Little confused that the box said VDO, but the part itself is stamped Continental. Works like a charm. I was expecting to have to attempt the sync more than once after reading some of these posts, but that wasn't the case.

Tirerack got it right. The installation and registration of the new TMPS sensors was flawless.

Kind regards,

Charlie

Just had a set of Enkei RPF1 wheels (15.2lbs) and Conti DW (2lbs lighter than the Hankook rF's) w/ TPMS installed to mine today. I shed 32 lbs of unsprung weight w/ this swap. Woot!

No issues, TPMS registered as soon as I got the old tires and wheels out of my car.

Programming Required?

Can anyone confirm that these are plug-and-play without requiring any programming?
