If I can be bothered to haul them out and take pictures, it's probably time to get rid of my snow tires from my old E90 M3.

They have TPMS installed, but I dimly recall that there may be multiple variations of TPMS for the E9X cars. Does anyone have any additional details? Want to make sure I am advertising them correctly.

New sensors were developed for 2011 models. I believe everything from 08-10 work together, 11 on do not work with older models and vice versa

Thanks. What a pain.

Yeah, I think I got the wrong ones from TireRack for my winter wheels on the 1M back in '11. They never worked. I've just been living with the yellow light until it's time to replace the tires, because I couldn't be bothered. :eeps:

Same on my 11 335. I got the older set. Sadly, if I remember correctly, it wasn't a model year cut off, but a date cutoff, so some 11 cars got the old style, etc.

What wheels are they? What's the condition of the tires?

Aftermarket Sport Edition A7s (like these http://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/Sport+Edition/A7/Painted/Silver). Staggered setup, 8" front, 9" rear.

Tires are Dunlops with plenty of tread left, but are old--from 2007, I think.
