We have received a lot of questions from F30 owners about changing their TPMS sensors and if they are compatible with the earlier E90,E91,E92, and E92 versions.
BMW made a part number change in 09/09 for the 3 series from OE #36236781847 (HUF #RDE008) to a newer version #36106790054 (HUF #RDE012) until the end of the E9X chassis.
The new F30 chassis uses a 433MHz sensor with OE#36106798872 which will not work with any of the previous versions.
Here are some reference pics earliest to latest..
