They are not only for "lazy" people, who never check their tire pressure - they will warn you ahead of time that you will be getting a flat (even more important if you are not using runflats). Yes, "ahead of time", may only be 1-second or less, but that gives you time to reduce speed and prepare for what may happen (loss of control)....this has happened to me - I hope you never have to use any safety features in your car, but you'll be damn happy they are there when you do need them.

I think its more of a cost issue, originally Tire Rack for instance had the TPMs for $370 for this car!!! now they have since reduced it to $225 or so which is the same price as the X3 system has always been from them (and I believe its the same monitors...). Now I will pay $225 for it, but $370 is a different story, I can replace two winter tires or a tire and wheel (non BMW) for that price!
