BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

2006 330i

Anyone know where to get these? I do not have any preference, used or aftermarket are fine.

Thanks!

I don't think the 06 uses TPMS. Tire pressure is monitored by the difference in rotation as sensed by the ABS sensors.

I'm not entirely sure about that; I thought 2006-2009.5 used the old sensors then 2009.5-2011 used the new sensors.

In any case I am about to take off my 2008 TPMS and was about to start a new "For Sale" thread. I sent my buddy with an '06 330xi an email to confirm what sensors the '06 uses; hit me with a PM if you find they are compatible with the '08s.

Update: I emailed Tischer for the 06 TPMS parts (getbmwparts.org) and the sent me this link:

These look awfully like the 07-09 MY TPMS.

Any experience with this?

Look at your current wheels, if the valve stem is soft rubber - you have no TPMS, so don't spend you $... AFAIK 06 don't have em even though they have RFT's, my winter setup is like that.

'06 should not have TPMS unless it was optioned. Call the dealer with your VIN to find out.

I have an 06 330i and it does not have tpms sensors, which is why I'm selling the set that came with wheels I bought here. My owner's manual does not mention tpms so I don't think it was even an option in that year. As poster above mentioned, the soft rubber valve is a give away that you don't have tpms installed. The car uses the abs computer to detect a smaller diameter tire (ie. underinflated/flat tire) to alert you.
When you install new tires, don't forget to reset the tpms or you'll get the red tire fault.
