Nope - reuses the existing bolt.

Just check that the O-rings are still good....

It's a sealed unit - no o-rings involved. It mounts solidly metal to metal on the inside face of the rim. (See boxflyer's pics in this post.)

On the GSA with the spoked wheels there is a rubber seal.

I just ordered the banana style for my 2015 RT from Woodys Wheel Works last night. The picture on his web site shows them to be genuine Schrader with the last part of the BMW part number stamped on them. They also have the stem style for wire spoke GS wheels. $39 each

I guess I wasn't clear. I bought a set of Amazon senders. Do these use the same bolt and if not, what size bolt do I need? I'm putting together a "when they go bad" kit.

Same bolt. The senders are technically/physically the same, the bolt unscrews from the rim, the sender comes off, the new sender goes on. (Assuming it's the bolt-on style, not the style with the stem.)
There are a number of considerations that I am concerned about when buying from, not so much Amazon/EBay but vendors on Amazon/EBay regarding when the batteries were considered “fresh”. When you receive batteries or battery powered devices from an online vendor, it’s good to check the date codes.
This also applies to other products with an expiration date such as printer ink. At a regular walk in store you can actually check in service or expiration dates.
