I just did the 12 K service on my 16 RT. It happened to be time to change front and rear tires. I bought new tires online and brought the wheels to the local BMW dealership to have them mounted. Prior to the tire change, the TPMS system was working perfectly. The pressures were about 2 pounds off but accurate enought for me. I only use the system to warn me of a tire problem.
I installed the newly mounted tires on Saturday and went out for a ride. Within a mile or two, the TPMS warning appeared on the dash. TPMS showed 53 psi in the fornt and 56 in the rear. I stopped and double cheked the pressure in both tires. My gauge showed 40 PSI front and 42 PSI in the rear. I rode for about 30 miles but the warning didn't disappear.
I called the dealership and was told both of my sensors must have gone bad at the exact same moment. They suggested I replace them at a cost of $466!
My GS-911 didn't show any fault codes.
I decided to let all of the air out of both tires and reinflate them. After doing so, I went out for a ride and, BINGO, the system worked fine.
Has anybody else expirenced this?
