To stop the sensors going off in the car you will need to change the valves over to the new type. This is perfectly possible and Bmw currently charge about £340 for four valves There are a number of aftermarket ones around for considerably less I believe I discussed this with my dealer parts dept .. By all means give them a ring it's bowker in Blackburn He did say that he expects the price to drop though as a number of people are in the same position as you and are complaining it seems I went out and bought a set on his advice .. I think you'll get the same answer from perrygun as he has done the same

Spoke to my dealer earlier and they can after all replace the valves and sensors, there's not "kit" available for cars build after March 2014 (mine was built in June), but the parts can still be ordered individually.
It's up to them if they keep changing the technology on wheels, but in my option BMW should: a) Make sure their sale staff know what they're talking about, have them fully briefed on what compatibility issues there will be to forewarn customs. I specifically asked them (repeatedly) to make sure they were fully compatible. They said they were - and they are not. b) If you had a BMW and you've bought another from them, the least they could do is pay for the upgrade - a trivial amount of money compared to the money you've spent with them. A small price (for them) to pay to avoid the bad will toward them for this mess.

I looked at an X4 and was told my Winter wheels will fit after a mod - which they would do in the deal. - Still thinking about it but they seemed sure at the time. (Local dealer is Ocean)

that's not bad, but...
- is it plus VAT? - do the TPMS sensors need coding to the car? If it's £245 all-in I'll probably get a set and add them to the winters when I get the colour changed in the spring.

@Andy_o
If you're going to find out the details, can you post (or PM) them please, I'm interested if they're that cheap. I haven't put the winters on yet and might still have time to pick up a set and get one of the local tyre places to pop some new valves in

Also be worth finding out if the TPMS sensors need to be coded to the car as, if they do, it makes it more of a faff to get them working.
