Hi,

I have a set of Spare original BMW style alloys, which I bought with runflat winter tyres but didn't use them for the F25.

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if have the TPMS sensor on the wheels? what do they look like?

I can't put them on the car as I don't have the F25 anymore.

Thanks,

If you have the regular rubber valves, then you don't have RF TPMS sensors.

RF TPMS sensors are held into the rims with barrel nuts which are usually quite obvious, and more often than not they have grey valve caps.

HTH, Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

See attached pics, what you reckon? Can only see the top half of the valve, the cap is grey however...

Any ideas?

That is undoubtedly a normal valve. No TPMS there!
