maybe my X4 has the same, not sure yet. But my 2021 M340i (Canadian Performance Edition) has that TPMS (as per my Service advisor). I have replaced the RFT as soon as the car arrived and pick it up with new Michelin PS4 that I bought for it. But since I brought it home it bugs me non stop with "inflate tires). Not to mention it did not calibrate the system, I needed to put the dimensions manually. Plus the door jam says 38 and the computer suggests 49 PSI? I am confused. Do you know what can be done? I will gladly just throw the TPMS in the garbage and go without it. I will recheck on Monday to see if I have TPMS for sure. Last edited by Teutonic; 05-23-2021 at 12:08 AM.. |

But giving bad advice is ok and must not be questioned by others??? I thought this was a discussion forum, not a platform where the first reply to a question should end the thread, regardless if that first reply is right or wrong, good or bad... If I ask a question here and someone replies with a advice I would appreciate it if someone else also chimes in. Especially when that someone has a proven track record here and also has inside knowledge from BMW... Modern cars are quite complex and the information from the TPMS is used for much more than just giving a message in the dashbord about low tire pressure. Other systems, like adaptive suspension and drivetrain, also use tire pressure data. Mechanically it's also bad for the transfer system in the xdrive if say the front tire pressures are too low (or high) without a TPMS to monitor this. |

Ok, so for some, do not alter your OEM car, drive it as is. Street car to track there may be some differences. So it's his car he drives it, he can turn off the warning. Pretty sure he checked his tire pressure w a pressure gauge before going on track. As far as unprotected sex, well it's advised that both parties should be tested before engaging in intercourse to minimize the chance of STI spread. To be very sure at time zero and 3 months before starting unprotected sex to ensure you do not have HIV. I hope the sex issues is cleared up. |

Don't believe that consequences of coding out TPMS on a modern car is as well known... Or perhaps I have missed out on all the previous comments/threads on this topic re TPMS/xdrive making it common public knowledge in line with drugs and unprotected sex??? |

I still haven't heard a good reason not to remove it other than modern cars being 'complex'. I don't know why the other posters would say it's 'really bad advice' but not take the time to explain why... My guess is that they don't know for sure that there will actually be an issue. |

Anyone who has been here for some time know that he is someone with inside knowledge from BMW, close to the development. Search his posts and I think you will find he isn't just a regular contributor on these forums... |

Again, I wasn't giving advice on weather this is a good idea or not. Lots of people modify their cars and a lot of those modifications are not the smartest of ideas but I was just answering his question on the 'how' it can be done |

If it's ok to give advice without explaining the pros and cons of said advice, perhaps it's a bit double standards to demand more from someone saying the advice is bad. IMHO both of you should have explained the reasoning behind what you posted. You adviced him that he could code it out, which seemed like advice he was happy to follow (with possible bad consequences both for warranty, safety and damage to the xdrive), without any disclaimers. Lemetier just pointed out that was bad advice on a Gxx xdrive, without any details as to why. At least this puts the one that asked this question in a position where he might do some due dilligence before just coding it out. |

Just because I passed a McLaren on track doesnt mean that it was under steering badly and that my car had enough power to keep up or that I was running semi slicks. Almost none of that matters when driving fast on track, and you first and foremost compare drivers, not cars. You cannot even comment on pass/no pass decisions, sometimes its fun to play cat and mouse with someone else on track, and I often swap positions with other drivers just to see what they are doing differently. The video is entertaining, the (French?) driver very good, and thats about it.

This makes me seriously rethink using bimmercode to do anything even as benign as turning off the iDrive disclaimer which I've done on every car I've owned (and my current long term loaner while my G80 gets built - oops) |
