TPMS New Wheels

Just a quick question.

Purchasing additional set of wheels for an F80. If I choose to go without TPMS sensors, will there be any disadvantages (other than not monitoring TP via IDrive)? Will there be a constant warning signal? Can it be coded out?

TIA

Yes, you can code it out.

Why do you want to run without TPMS? Cost is negligible and it is very important on these cars. Tirerack has TPMS for $35 each.

I just bought the ones from Tire Rack. Will have them installed in a few days and will let you know how it goes.

Not sure if this is the intention of the OP, but some people who run their cars on the track a lot don't want TPMS. Tire temps and PSI can fluctuate a lot when you're running them hard. It's annoying to be on track and have TPMS always warning you about tires. And usually those track enthusiasts are very in tune with what their tire pressures by checking them constantly themselves.

Besides, the TPMS is so inaccurate. s/ If you solely depend on them to gauge your PSI, you might end up losing control of the car and hopping a curb because the reading was off by a little bit. /s
