Good afternoon, So I am looking to pick up a set of wheels & tires for winter and am wondering how annoying the TPMS light is on the 228? My previous car (2014 mustang) wasn't anything other than a small orange light that illuminated on the dash. Does anyone have a picture of what the 2 series looks like with the TPMS sensor warning on? I would like to save the $200+ dollars for a sensor that is useless. Any pics would be greatly appreciated

Car gets stuck in comfort or Eco mode when it can't read the tires, not sure about lights and other issues, but I am sure it will let you know all the time. Spend the 200.

Also it's illegal to drive without TPMS in the US for cars fabricates after 2006

not that a cop will stop you and check but still.... you have a crash and insurance finds out and you can be screwed...

if you spent 50k on a car don't be a cheapo and buy the TPMS

I'm not sure bout the comfort thing. I know guys on the track that don't run tpms on their 2 and are in sport or sport + all the time

The legal aspect means zero to me, even if an accident were to occur they would have to prove it was the tpms not being there that caused said wreck.

And I only have the 228XI so mine was only $32K!! I just have a problem spending $200 for something that is only there because natural selection hasn't removed the people who don't understand maintenance from this world yet haha jk

Well i think it will not let you go into sport or sport + if THERE ARE sensors and they read low...

If you don't have sensors at all then maybe it lets you...

fair enough.... although it's nice to see tire pressure and temperature in real time while on the track...so i wouldn't say they are useless

Yea I thought about that too, however I check my pressures after every session on the track as well as once a week at home. While I am on the track I am too busy trying not to wreck ehm... I mean getting the best lines than to look at the Tire pressures
