Re: TPMS question
If you have rubber valve stems then the chances are you have an ABS based TPMS system.

Newbie from Essex
Hello all,
I've had my 3.0 X3 (F25) for over a year now. Thought it was about time I should do some maintenance and small mods myself.
This forum seems to be a good place to find useful info, and see what others have done.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
