Do Canadian 2's have TPMS or FTM?

VIDoug · 05-24-2015, 10:29 PM

Does the Canadian model have TPMS or FTM. I know that my Z4 had FTM, while US versions had TPMS. This matters when it's time to place your order for new wheels etc.

if you have metal stems you have TPMS
if you have rubber stems you have FTM

FTM

If you wanted to run an aftermarket setup without any sensors they work just fine as well. I'm running OEM 225m wheels without sensors and I don't get any warnings whatsoever.

There are no sensors in Canadian cars.

At one point last year I had to swap off one of my wheels for a different one to act as a spare and it gave me tire pressure warnings and locked out sport and sport+ modes. I'm pretty sure there are sensors in there...

Why didn't you just reset the sensors? Or did you not buy sensors for your winter wheels?

It wouldn't reset, just chimed that it was unable to reset. I didn't bother buying the sensors, its a waste of money imo. If I can't feel a flat, I probably shouldn't have a license.

In the last few years, cars imported by BMW Canada do not have TPMS sensors installed in the wheels. It's all done through the ABS system. The FTM needs to be reset when conditions change (wheels, tires, pressures, etc.).

That's not the case with these cars, there are some equipped with TPMS.

My May 2014 build 228i doesn't have TPMS, I didn't receive any warnings all winter.

Killramos · 06-22-2015, 03:00 PM

Mojo you are the first person in Canada i have heard of having TPMS. Can you share some details of your order.

AWD? All Season versus MPSS?

My April 2014 bought (so very early) M235i with MPSS RWD has FTM.

Same time frame as yours, picked it up early April 2014, every option. Mine came with the RFT, which is probably why. I swapped them out for PSS and the wider 8" rear wheel. When I had the PSS mounted the tire shop said they swapped the sensors over. I have a set of 3 series 17s I ran in the winter and the tire reset would never work. Put my summers on this spring and the light disappeared when I reset it.

That probably explains it, the RFT option.

Makes me wonder if theres a way to code for the FTM.

EBM235 · 06-23-2015, 09:12 PM

would also like to know if able to code

code what ?

EBM235 · 06-23-2015, 11:21 PM

either a way to turn off the sensors or to switch to the Canadian version of it. guessing would require the parts for the canadian abs system.

ah yea...

just set HU_NBT 3001 RDC to nitch_aktiv that disables TPMS and

next 2 enable FTM

HU_NBT 3001 RPA to aktiv
and HU_NBT 3001 REIFENUEBERWACHUNG_RDC_RPA to RPA

maybe you should actually disable both... cause you might get some light if you enable FTM and don't have the hardware

so maybe

HU_NBT 3001 RDC to nitch_aktiv
HU_NBT 3001 RPA to nitch_aktiv
and HU_NBT 3001 REIFENUEBERWACHUNG_RDC_RPA to nitch_aktiv

Won't be responsible if your wheels set on fire though
