TPMS Replacement

Hi Gents,

Has anyone used an after market set of TMPS and been happy with them?

If so, could I have a link please, so many to choose from, but I would rather know someone has bought before and had no issues.

Thanks

IMO don't waste your time; stick with OEM as they work and work properly. Everyone I know that's used cheaper aftermarket ones have had issues

This is a tried and trusted reseller; I have them in the alloys on our F31 and absolutely faultless

Agreed. The eBay seller mentioned is a diamond and his products work.

Seconded. I've got aftermarket ones in my winter wheels and they randomly cut out and ping an error on the dash. Have to keep resetting them. Save yourself the trouble.

Indeed. I've got three sets of genuine and one of copies. The copies don't like temps below 5c by throwing up temporary errors, and fail completely below -5c. Genuine aren't that much more, and well worth it.

I got the Continental/VDO ones off AutoDoc 3 years ago, which is the same brand BMW use. So far haven't needed them yet. The originals are 9 years old now, so last pretty well.

Handy to have in stock if they fail, since it's an MOT fail for some stupid reason.
