Are 2019 TPMS sensors the same as 2018?

I recently bought a '19 230i and Tire Rack isn't listing winter packages because they haven't checked out the TPMS compatibility yet. Since the car is essentially the same as 2018 I'm guessing there hasn't been a change, bit I've been burned before when Mini changed their monitors from 2011 to 2012. Does anyone know for sure whether they've changed?

Tire Rack sez the TPMS for my wife's car MY 2018 330i has the same part number as listed for my MY 2016 m235i, if that helps.

Thanks. I had my friend at BMW confirm, and his dealer had a special on BMW wheels and winter tires. I ended up buying from him. And yes, the part number remains the same for 2019.

I have a local tire store guy who I've known for years and has been always excellent. He went into meltdown mode when I tried to swap around wheels on my 2019 M240i, because of the TPMS. Hysterical fit over VIN specific part numbers and no info on 2019 models. I really didn't want to take apart the OEM wheel/tire sets, but in the end that's what I had to do to get the TPMS. I suppose I could have found the parts if I tried harder, but I didn't want the hassle. From what I can tell, I don't believe there's any difference from 2018 to 2019, but there are several different TPMS depending on wheel style and model. I understand the reasons for this engineering, just like I understand the reasons for having a flap that opens and closes the muffler exhaust pipe. But I do think this type of engineering has gotten out of control on the newer cars.

realoem.com is one of the best starting place for info on parts cross-reference that is publicly available. The current TPMS (part # 36106881890) on the 2-series dates from 1 Nov 2016 production onwards and is used by 51 BMW Group vehicles at the moment: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=36106881890

The previous part number was 36106856209 and was used on 45 BMW Group vehicles for production from 1 Aug 2013 to 16 May 2017: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=36106856209
