Should I get OEM TPMS?

I am going to buy 20'' rims for my 2013 X5 and wondering if I should get OEM TPMS. I don't want to have a problem when I get my new tires/rims/tpms installed and then have the TPMS showing not working. What do you think? OEM tpms can be pretty pricey.

The Beru TPMS work fine (note that in January 2012 BERU System TPMS Division was sold to HUF Group Germany). BavarianX is a supplier.

Make sure that the valve neck is adjustable, in case you're buying after market wheels. The wheel profile may be different than OE.

+1 on the Beru. Make sure they are current model(year). Not older pre 2010's. The system changed somewhere along the line and the older ones are not compatible with your TPMS thus throwing a dash light. The Beru's valve stem (sticks through the wheel) can be changed to accommodate various aftermarket wheels. You may need a different set of stems. The wheel company should know what works.
