New Rims, Flat Tire Malfunction
Hello all,
I recently bought new rims for my 07 x5. The new rims were take offs from a 2010 X5. The rims came with tires on them. After I put them on my car, and driving for 5 min, a flat tire warning came on. It advised me to drive cautiously. As a result, I went to a gas station to check the air pressure, there was no problems. There are no problems physically to the naked eye when I inspected the wheels upon receiving the shipment. Do you guys think that it has to do with the TPMS sensors? Is there a way to calibrate the new ones onto my car's system? Thanks, the warning is really bugging me. |

Reset the TPMS in iDrive. If it doesn't work after a couple tries, chances that the wheels don't have TPMS sensors in them.

Ok, I have reset my TPMS. The strange thing is that it took less than 10 seconds to reset. I didn't have to drive anywhere.
Is this normal? |
