Anyone used these tpms before?

Looking to get a 2nd set of wheels and need a new set of tpms. Anyone used this brand before?

Careful when ordering TPMS sensors. I have heard that often even if the frequency etc is correct, they will not pair with the car.

Best bet is to check the part # of the existing ones (unfortunately you must pull of a tire to do so...) and order the same ones.

EDIT : And I'll add, when I recently (1.5-2 mos ago) retrofitted TPMS on my car... The sensors DID NOT look like that. They were more curved and stamped BMW.

Yeah, definitely be VERY careful getting new sensors. Check REALOEM for the EXACT part number for your car's production date. Believe me, it will save you a ton of grief and trips to the tire place.

I purchased a set of those off ebay to use on my x3 winters. Have had them for three winters 5 months at a time no problems. I also used ITM aftermarket sensors on my summer wheels for three years that came from ebay with no problems.

Just be aware that X3s and 435s may not use the same TPMS and that BMW change the TPMSs sometime in 2013 or 2014.

Same guy I ordered from cut off is pre march 14 build. Contact him make sure they fit your vehicle they may ask for your vin. X3 does not use same as 435 I never said they did. I just sold two sets of sensors on here and bought two more for my 17 440 I just ordered.
