It helps if you practice on a nice warm sunny day

I've used them on a 330d M Sport ... I practiced in the warm - and that was a good idea ! Total pain to put on ... until someone on a forum I read talked about using a lump of old skirting board. It is wide enough and thin enough to wedge the top part over the tyre between the tyre and the wheel arch (something that skins your hands and leaves you in immense pain if you don't use something!) Once you get the knack of using the piece of wood to assist you can get them on in a minute or so - even in the cold.TitanTim wrote:Have you tried putting snow socks on 18s or 19s with M Sport suspension in the freezing cold and they have to come off as soon as you hit tarmac.

It's a great way of BMW ensuring people won't bother fitting winter wheels now with the extra cost for the TPMS sensorsKERMIT1970 wrote:They will fit ok TT. Lots of wheels out there will fit as long as you don't have the new flat tyre monitoring system
Not even looked at that ! I don't think so. Comes up inactive I beleave.ronk wrote:Can the tpms not be selected "off"
I have been told this is just fitted to newer models. I had changed the wheels & tyres on my e92 335d with no problems. Sensors were fitted into those hubs & not the tyres.Twin Turbo wrote:Is the TPMS really different from the E92?
As they did work okay on my old car - no disco lights
The system cannot be turned off. In fact, I have been told it is an MOT failure if they are fitted and not working correctly.ronk wrote:Can the tpms not be selected "off"
TPMS is now an EU directive for all new cars up to 7 seaters built from 1st November '14, BMW just introduced it earlyTitanTim wrote:It's a great way of BMW ensuring people won't bother fitting winter wheels now with the extra cost for the TPMS sensorsKERMIT1970 wrote:They will fit ok TT.

Even fitting second hand wheels with new sensors and tyres is going to be costly.
