APPLICATION LIST
BMW assigns a variety of part numbers to define TPMS sensors, which are determined by the production month and date of your vehicle (this is not to be confused with the Model Year of the vehicle, often represented as "MY2014" for example). Please use the application chart below to help determine which TPMS sensor is correct for your specific vehicle. BMW is constantly updating these part numbers, and due to the sensitive nature of this part, we ask that all customers double check part number they require. If you have any questions or would like to confirm your selection prior to ordering, please feel free to contact us.

*BMW uses two different suppliers for 36-10-6-881-890, HUF & VDO, for this BMW part number which are not compatible with one another. All four sensors must be the same brand.
When installing, the valve stem may feel tight before it is fully seated. You must keep tightening until the locking flange breaks and allows the stem to be fully tightened to seal. Once broken, this flange acts as a thread locker to prevent the valve stem from loosening while driving. The installation torque spec is 35 in-lbs (4 Nm).
Sensors are preprogrammed to work with your vehicle, however, you will need to initialise (synchronise) them to your vehicle per the process outlined in your owners manual.
Do I need TPMS sensors?
Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are optional equipment on almost all vehicles as of around 2006. For vehicles that were not equipped with TPMS, no sensors are required.
Why replace sensors when installing new wheels?
Sensor Age - TPMS sensors use non-serviceable batteries that typically last about 5-7 years. While they can often last upwards of 10 years, any sensor this old is on borrowed time and we recommend replacement.
Labour Costs - Because of the time and cost associated with removing the tyres to replace these sensors, we recommend installing new sensors at the same time as a new set of wheels since the tyres will already be removed. The cost to dismount and re-mount 4 tyres can often exceed that of simply replacing the sensors proactively.
Convenience - If you’re buying a second set of wheels dedicated to either track use, you’ll save time and money by installing new sensors, rather than having to swap sensors between wheels.
Are TPMS sensors required for track/race use?
Track enthusiasts and racers alike are notoriously hands-on, measuring tyre temperatures and pressures consistently throughout an event to ensure they are getting the most performance and longevity out of their tyres. For this reason, many choose not to install TPMS sensors on a dedicated set of track/race wheels and tyres. By doing so, a warning light will be triggered on vehicles equipped with TPMS sensors from the factory and driving modes may be limited on newer vehicle models produced after 2013. To avoid these limitations, many drivers turn to aftermarket programming/coding options to disable the TPMS entirely, which can be done at their own risk.
The New Generation of Sensors from Huf IntelliSens
Ready, Install, Go!
Huf is the OE supplier of direct measuring tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to car manufacturers across Europe, USA, and Asia. Huf has also developed the universal sensor "IntelliSens" for the independent aftermarket which carries the same OE quality.
IntelliSens is fitted directly to the valve and measures the tyre pressure and temperature from the inside of every tyre. This data is then displayed on the dashboard by a control unit. This method of measurement is not only faster, but also more accurate than indirect methods that use ABS/ESP sensors. Whether you are purchasing a new set of wheels and tyres, or simply replacing old faulty sensors, APEX has you covered.
The Benefits for Drivers
Added Safety and Performance - A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA, USA) showed that vehicles with a tyre pressure at the recommended level are much more likely to be involved in an accident due to tyre damage. Detecting and eliminating tyre pressure problems early on improves drivability and prevents accidents caused by tyre damage or failure.
As driving enthusiasts, we all want to extract the most performance out of our vehicles. By running optimum tyre pressures, tyre performance and longevity will be maximized. Properly working TPMS sensors ensure drivers are informed with accurate readings so adjustments can be made if necessary.
Reduces the Cost of Driving - The TPMS helps to extend the lifespan of a tyre. A tyre with 20% less pressure than the recommended level shortens the lifetime of the tyre tread by up to 25%. Switching to a direct measurement TPMS offers financial benefits through the extended service life.
Greener Roads and Improved MPG - Driving with the correct air pressure can lower fuel costs by 1-3%. By reducing the fuel consumption and extending the lifetime of the tyres, IntelliSens contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

My first dealing with Southern BM was a pleasant one. I had some springs and shocks installed and Sean was a delight to deal with. Knowledgeable, helpful and offered solutions when not everything went to plan. I would happily recommend them.

I have used many mechanics over the years for the many different types of vehicles in our company fleet and southern BM is one of the very few workshops I can highly recommend. Andrew and his team are also really passionate about their work and it shows.
