TPMS and Valves

Does anyone know where I can get the sensors and valves? I have only found one site that has the sensor and one that has the valves. I want to replace my stock wheels (getting 17" MOMO S-Five black ) and want to ensure I get the best price on these parts. Thanks!

Try this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-M...spagenameZWDVW

I bought mine from here (Tirerack ) - They're OEM and came with both sensors and valve stems.

I am not sure that the sensors will move to your new wheels, but when I upgraded from 15" to 17" rims, I have the tire shop move the TPMS sensors to the new rims. Just needed an o ring kit (about $5 each).

works fine !!!

I bought my TPMS sensors from the same place and installed them myself.
This helps:

Were there any additional steps when you put the tires back on the car or was it "plug and play"? The PDF says I may have to calibrate the sensor and the car.

Plug and play. No errors.
But, your manual tells you how to reset the TPMS.

A thing that I saw was that you have to think about which of the two differently shaped washers to use.

So, the set they sell is all I need to install for an OEM MINI wheel? Nothing extra? A set of 4 sensors?

Thanks

Yep - everything is included. I had mine installed at the tire dealership. The calibration procedure is in the owner's manual. Takes about 2 minutes.
