I replaced the 4 TPMS sensors on my 2011 F25 X3 recently. This is a summary of my experience.

I asked Discount Tire to replace the sensors and they used the Schraeder brand. Their price was $240 OTD. I had a prev good experience with them: some years ago they replaced the 4 sensors on my 2008 Saab and everything went fine. But this time the sensors could not be reset on the X3. I tried multiple times without success.

I decided to buy another set specific for this vehicle (P/N 36106874829) and found the best price on TPMS (dot) com. I paid $156 with USPS standard shipping. They provided a tracking # and the package arrived on the 2nd day. The box says "BHSens Intellisens. TPMS is programmed and ready to install." This pic shows what I received.

Finally, I stopped by DT for a refund and to install my new sensors at the same time. I paid $77 for the labor but I believe it would be free if I had bought my tires with them. My final cost was $233 OTD. The X3 TPMS system reset successfully in less than 2 min.

Hope this helps someone out there.
