It's possible it might fit, depending on the design of the spokes.

I am hoping they do as researching new winter tires and rims with TMPS is going be 1500. The TMPS are over 300. Why so expensive now? I remember getting them with my current winter tires and they were about 150 for a set.

The wildcard in all this is that from what I've read online, BMW switched the TPMS system sometime around March, which is why TireRack differentiates between cars built before and after Mar 2014.

Which means it's possible the TPMS units in our winter rims for our 135i's may not work with our new cars.

Oh man that will really sucks. Guess i will be selling my TMPS then. If not the whole tire setup. Better find a second job to cover the cost of new winter setup. lol

Yea that is about what tire rack is quoting 350.00 for a set of 4. Crazy just for a TPMS

Nice but not sure it will work out better as tire rack will mount and balance the new set of tires for free. Then i would have to have someone remount them at a cost of about 80 bucks. Not sure its worth all the hassle to save 30 bucks. But thanks for the idea

Yea, if you going for the whole package with TireRack it wouldn't make any sense to order TPMS on the side.

I'm not sure if all TPMS system are the same, but when I read that coding can bring up temps in the tires, I had to get ones that came with the car. Others might just be able to sync, but does not have temp readings. I didn't want to risk that and got oem ones.

The ones for my 135i from tire rack worked fine. Never even had to sync them. Just swapped to winter setup and went on my way.

I have the 18" sport edition style KV5 rims on my 135 as my winter setup and confirmed they fit my 235. There's about .5cm clearance from the spoke to the caliper on the front wheel. Plenty of clearence on the rear rim. Glad I went with 18" rims. 17" rims may not clear the calipers.

Any update on the fitment of the KM11's? Just ordered a M235i yesterday, wondering if I need to sell my SE's and get new. Thanks!

THanks for the quick response. I'll include the winter wheels when I post the 1er for sale on BMWCCA classifieds. Hey, great choice on winter wheels, really like the look. Plus the 5 spoke design and dark finish (like the SEs) probably make them easy to clean during the winter months.

Np, Yea the 5 spoke are easy to clean. Even though they are matte finish there actually smooth to the touch. I sealed and waxed them before winter and they have been a breeze to clean.

I confirm 18" OEM 135i wheels do not fit the 228i M sport.

In detail, a have a set of OEM Style 372 18" wheels with 18 x 7.5 ET49 for fronts and 18 x 8.5 ET52 for rears.

The rears do fit the car fine. But the fronts will touch the M Sport brake callipers.

Does anyone know the minimal thickness of spacers to buy for the front wheels in order to clear the brakes?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but what's the verdict for the 135i TMPS compatibility with the 2er? I'm reading conflicting information.

[Moondog]

A friend of mine sold her e90 and purchased an f22. I recently installed a her 3-series wheels on the new 228i and the TMPS do NOT WORK. Since the e90 and e82 shared many components I'm guessing your 1-series TMPS will not work. Hope this is helpful.
