Need 8 new TPMS, is there a Good economical solution?


What do I need to know about TPMS to make sure and get the correct ones assuming they are not identical OEM sensors?


Is the sensor frequency the “only” critical factor? Or do the sensors Explicitly call out compatibility?


Any other factors to be aware of?


I see there are very inexpensive options, are any of those to be considered? First hand issues or things to be aware of from people that have tested the waters?

Is there a specific sensor required for use on a 2008 335xi?

I seem to recall there was a switchover in TPMS I read about around this time? Any information to know to avoid incompatibility?

I will move it to the model sub forum, maybe a member there has experience. https://www.tpmsdirect.com/BMW_3_Series_TPMS_s/94.htm

Why eight, don't you have four tires. There really is no choice we had issues with the ones available at tire shops we found the German brand ruf I think it was worked.

We only carry the OE sensors and they are 69.00 each delivered. If I can help let me know.
