TPMS question

Just had a set of winter wheels and tires installed with TPMS sensors at Discount Tire. After I drove off, the reset procedure went through fine and no warning light ever came on. However, all four tires on the iDrive display show green but no pressure or temperature readings like one normally sees. I called and asked the guy at DT and he said the sensors should work and he was not aware of needing special sensors for this model. They are the right frequency. He said to bring it back and if needed, he would call BMW and get different sensors. My question is, is that worth doing? It would require taking off the tires, etc. Will the TPMS warning work properly? Do you think it will show individual tires if one is low so that I know which one is setting off the warning? I am not that concerned about knowing the pressure by iDrive. I would check with a gauge anyway if one tire needed more air.
