What programming is needed for TPMS, on my 2008 and 2011 its just reset in the iDrive. Is there a new BMW system?

Shop tried to charge me for programming once and I said BS its just a reset in my computer.

I've bought 2 sets of TPMS sensors off Ebay and have had no problems, and was only about $150 for a set of 4.

There seem to be two ways to do this ( a bit uncertain due to new system for BMW):
-program the sensors through the in-car system. You or shop.
-shop will program through their programmer.

There are three major TPMS suppliers for OEM - all of them are also selling aftermarket units - slightly different. There are also a couple of aftermarket-only players.

Pls let us know.
