TPMS malfunction from 2014 F32 wheels mounted on 2015 F36

tboooe · 01-14-2015, 06:33 PM

I got around to mounting 442M wheels from a 2014 F32 4 series coupe on my 2015 F36 Gran Coupe. I tried resetting the TPMS but got a TPMS Malfunction. Is there any sort of compatibility issues either from 2014 to 2015 or from an F32 to F36? I highly doubt it but thought I would ask.

tboooe · 01-14-2015, 07:05 PM

I just read this on another site
"i believe the cutoff was march of 2014. cars (and their wheels) produced after that date have different sensors than the ones before that date and they are not compatible"

The build date of the F32 I got the wheels from is 10/13 and my build date is 11/14. Looks like I am SOL????

Yup - BMW swapped out the sensors, probably the issue.

However, I wouldn't mind buying the sensors off you if you plan on selling them

Labeef · 01-14-2015, 10:47 PM

Yep. After March 2014 the sensors changed. I found out while I was researching F80 M3 wheels.

3/14

There r two types

VDO Is the one you need

The old one from 2011-3/2014 was a HUF TPMS

again, you'll need the new VDO version

Can find on ebay for $300

Or you can buy them from APEX race parts for $220; look up the correct part no. on TPMS dot com.

Get them from tire rack

tboooe · 01-15-2015, 08:26 AM

Part number is correct

Again. You can reference your TPMS. Or our TPMS f36 post 3/14 build date. By asking for VDO

tboooe · 01-15-2015, 07:35 PM

All good now...swapped out the TPMS from my original wheels.

Blubaron79 · 01-16-2015, 01:25 PM

Uggh... This thread is killing me. I just bought 4 397 wheels from ebay for my winter rims for my F30 with TPMS.

I guess I'll need to buy 4 new Tire Pressure Monitors..

Your other option is to either live with the TPMS Malfunction notification or code out TPMS monitoring.

BTW, so you know for sure the wheels you bought have TPMS that was manufactured prior to spring 2014? When was your car produced?

They probably were. I bought them on eBay, and my new car is on its way here on a boat at the moment.

Gotcha, then in that case I would code out TPMS monitoring for the few months you have winter wheels on.

Jimminez · 01-16-2015, 03:00 PM

I wonder when they'll switch out all cars to an ABS type TPMS as that's how my car works and don't have to worry about sensor swaps.

Unless you're talking about a different car than whats in your profile, you are mistaken. No F3Xs work like that. If they did they wouldn't be able to tell the pressure or temperature, which all can do. They all have the sensor on the valve stem.

That is incorrect. My vehicle did not come with sensors in the wheels. Maybe it's a Canadian thing as that's how it also was for my old S4 as Audi switched from physical sensor to using the ABS module.

Mike_L · 01-16-2015, 09:15 PM

Audi is like that. BMW is not.

Jimminez · 01-17-2015, 08:29 AM

I think you may have missed the point. My car and other F3x vehicles use the ABS module here.

I put my summers on without a sensor and all was fine. Put my winters on without a sensor and all was fine. Got a nail in my winters and TPMS warning occurred. Does it display the exact pressure, no, but it does work.

None of the Canadian F3x vehicles use tpms, they all use ftm which works with the abs sensors as you metioned.
