I need to replace the TPMS on my 2015 RT. Can anyone tell me the proper torque on the hollow bolt that holds it to the wheel? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Jay. That is exactly the info I was looking for.
The pressure indication started to take longer than normal to display. It progressed to showing no pressure long enough to trigger the dash warning. Some days it worked normally, others not. My rear sensor displayed exactky the same symptoms shortly before the warranty expired. Dealer installed new TOMS and all ok. Planning tomorrow to install one I got online, it has the BMW part number on it and is a Schrader unit. Counting on the GS911 to be able to allow the bike to recognize it.
Mission successful. Tried to wake up my internet sensor with my ultra cheap internet wake up tool, discovered that with no screen on the tool, I had no way to know if it woke up or obtain the 7 digit code even if it did. Took the sensor to a tire store and they were able to wake it up and give me the code. Used a GS 911 to manually enter the code into the bike, changed out the sensor and all is good now. Paid $27.00 for the sensor instead of $200+ from a dealer.

It would be nice to get them under warranty as BMW wants upwards of $200 each plus install if you don’t do it yourself.
Interesting and good for you. My dealer determined by reading codes that mine began dysfunctioning secondary to RF interference. Their best guess was that the new tire carcasses were sufficient to make make sensor the batteries fail to deliver a signal thru the tire so led to the RF-i. Mine manifested as failure to display pressures, in particular the rear tire, for many miles whereas prior to the tire change they always lit up immediately after exceeding the requisite 6mph. This lasted for 3,300 mile during a trip we took in late June. After returning home I set up an appt for a week later to go in to have them troubleshot. The day before the appt I went out for my first shorter ride post end of our trip, and voila both F/R sensors acted normally. That was almost 2 months ago now and they have worked flawlessly since. I was hoping they were clearly dying sensors so I could get them replaced but nope not this time. It's quite possible when I replace tires again w/ full thickness rubber the issue will manifest again. My sense is sensor batteries are at least as related to miles of use as they are to time elapsed since manufacture. So I'll be needing to replace mine sometime probably in the next year I have to guess. My warranty expires in another 500m.
Idea is go buy another set of new RA3 and put them on and see if the issue returns, that way you can take advantage of warranty, if the issue returns from new tires on that is.
Just a thought, then you can put old tires back on.
