Found these mystery items in my OEM stash

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-03-2013, 09:48 PM

Anyone know what they are?

CruzS4e92 · 10-03-2013, 09:49 PM

look sort of like ICMs but you wouldn't have 4

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-03-2013, 09:50 PM

Not sure what ICM means, however, I can tell you they were in the same box as my OEM grills and OEM reflectors

Kernel Kurtz · 10-03-2013, 09:51 PM

You could probably look up the FCC ID.

When they come back online.....

bumere90 · 10-03-2013, 09:51 PM

tire pressure sensors in the wheels

JS82 · 10-03-2013, 09:54 PM

Looks like tire pressure sensors.

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-03-2013, 09:55 PM

Oh really? Hmmm, interesting. Thanks all! So that's what the tire pressure sensors look like

Wonder what the hell they're doing in the box... then again...they DID tell me the tire pressure sensors in my 19 inch rims that I bought from my 2009 328 coupe back when would not work with my 2011 335 when I bought the car...

Brad335d · 10-03-2013, 11:26 PM

Yup TPMS wheel sensors

Tim07e90 · 10-04-2013, 01:45 AM

Lol yea those are actually broken TPMS sensors (no valve stems)

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-04-2013, 05:18 AM

Well I guess they're recycled TPMS sensors now...
Can they be taken off without being fubared?

john231 · 10-04-2013, 06:07 AM

TPMS Sensor's with out the valve stems

N8N · 10-04-2013, 06:12 AM

if they're 2009 they're probably near dead anyway... already replaced two on my '09

NGEE · 10-04-2013, 06:51 AM

Yeah, the FCC marking kind of gives the transmitter away. I'm not too smart on electronics, but I'd love to know how they tune them for individual cars so that two E90's parked next to each other don't cross TPMS signals.

JYohay · 10-04-2013, 08:38 AM

they arent broken the stems are removable.....those are worth good money.
a new OEM sensor is like $100.
you can have the battery checked at most tire shops

AzureHaze · 10-04-2013, 11:07 AM

Didn't know those things were that huge. Learned something new today...

Dark_Knight_335 · 10-04-2013, 11:33 AM

I know right? I thought they were little tire stem like things...
