Exclamation TPMS Sensor for e90

I was wondering if all the TPMS are universal for all wheel sizes. Can anyone confirm?

The pressure sensor measures Psi only. It has no idea what size wheel or tire you are using.

I thought that the sensors don't actually measure the tire pressure. Rather, they trigger when it senses a change in rotational speed. I remember reading that in the manual...

The TPMS that is mounted inside the wheel does detect pressure and does not rely changes in rotational speed to detect low tire pressure. The indirect TPMS systems rely on the ABS system to detect differences in rotational speeds.
