Anybody have good luck with aftermarket TPMS?

I have a 2015 f31, wondering if i should just purchase OEM or save with aftermarket, links would be appreciated, thank you!

I've heard of people having good luck with tirerack ones, so I ordered mine from tire rack.
My current wheels have the VDO ones which run at least 180 for a set of four and up to 210 potentially.

I should be getting them installed tomorrow morning.

No problem!

I mean, they're "aftermarket" but then tire rack has been reliable in all the tires and ordering and deliveries for me so far and fitment for multiple cars as well.

I got HUF sensors from californiarimsoutlet on eBay and they work fine. Was worried as I had ordered TPMS from eBay for my Genesis and they never worked. These seem to read ~4psi lower than I measure otherwise. Not sure if OEM ones did, I never checked them against a pen gauge.

chhappy7 · 03-14-2019, 03:21 PM

Got mine installed.
It worked perfectly fine.
I just had to press reset TPMS on iDrive and it synced up nicely and reads pressure as well as temperature.

Look fine. BMW Doesn't make their own TPMS they have different manufactures

Tirerack TPMS are not aftermarket, they are either Continental or Huf, which are the OEM suppliers to BMW...

They are cheaper as they are not BMW 'branded'

Personally I wouldn't buy anything other than tru conti huf or bmw

Yeah, i just bought these and had them mounted last week for my '15 F34, under $150:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Beru-HUF-BM...AAAOSwl8NVf0WA

No issues, came pre-programmed and the car recognized them right away. I got them in black but the same seller lists other colors as well.

lol i meant the stems/caps are colored to match to your wheels. the actual business end of the tpms is orange

Like oem stems/caps tend to be silver. Just pure vanity, i wanted all black stems/caps against the black wheels so they dont stand out. They offer them black, gun metal and silver:

1QuikWS6 · 07-30-2019, 10:25 AM

Yup - I use gunmetal TPMS sleeves + gunmetal caps

Another option is contacting TPMS (.) com with your VIN number. Sent me the exact same TPMS used on my car only at a fraction of the price since it wasn't labeled "BMW"

328iX · 07-30-2019, 01:08 PM

Thanks everyone for the input but if you read my second post from 4 months ago I ended up purchasing off tire rack. They were continental brand and work just fine.
