Complete $$ all in for two sensors, two valve kits, and one sensor retaining bolt got here to USD $202 at time of order. Product was well-packaged and DHL had door-to-door monitoring.
Set up was simple. I used a dab of Loctite on the stem I put in, and the brand new, shorter retaining bolt for the valve-in-spoke entrance wheel got here with threadlocker pre-applied. Each had been torqued to the really helpful 6nm with a 1/4” torque wrench and clearance on each was checked and located to be in spec at that torque.
The sensors include codes printed on the field in each hex and base 10 (dez) which makes pairing them to the bike straightforward utilizing GS-911 or MotoScan. Some say the bike will robotically acknowledge the sensors, one after the other, with a longish experience over 30mph however I didn’t take a look at that. I did set up them one after the other, getting into the code and taking a really brief take a look at experience after every. Every time, the sensor was energetic inside a pair blocks of house. No activation or programming software was wanted, simply the GS-911 to enter the brand new codes.
My 13yr-old OEM sensors had been made by Schrader, as had been the brand new ones. New BMW sensors alone are $224 every via BMW, plus the valve equipment(s) and retaining bolt, which should be changed because the OEM one is just too lengthy for the brand new sensor. I acknowledged earlier that the final time I purchased a TPMS sensor from my vendor it was round $100, and I used to be OK with that as a typical in-stock merchandise. Joyful to pay it for the comfort and availability. I’ve problem understanding how $224 is justified when the abroad vendor can promote a sensor for somewhat over $50 USD, at a revenue. IMHO both some recent new MBA screwed up when negotiating the contract with the TPMS provider BMW switched to after they left Schrader, or we’re actually being abused on these crucial (security merchandise) elements.
Anyway, the sensors can be found, they work on bikes as much as someplace round 2019-2020, and the seller appears good to work with.
