2006 325xi has TPMS or not? (Plus, RFT vs std tires.)

Just found a set of used Style 159 wheels (opt. on mine, std. on 330). Thinking I'll put summer tires on them and save the OE 16" setup for winter.

As I was getting ready to buy TPMS, I stumbled upon this old thread and now I'm wondering...

Does my car have TPMS sensors, or not?

Also, like many of you, I'd rather not buy any more run-flats. I'm thinking I'll get one of those newer, latex-based Slime kits. Any thoughts from recent experience would be appreciated.

I guess it's as easy as noting that my valve stems are rubber, not metal. Therefore, it doesn't have TPMS.
