Which tyre pressure warning system on UK spec cars?
Can someone let me know whether UK spec cars (F30 335i specifically) have the full TPMS tyre pressure monitor system which actually measures the tyre pressures, or the lesser FTMS(?) which just detects any difference in rolling radius to work out if a tyre is going flat? There seems to be a lot of confusing info around on this.
My 335i will have the full Nav Pro system when it finally arrives if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance Tony |

As standard due to the run flats, the cars must have a Tyre Pressure Warning System which only triggers through lose of pressure. It doesn't measure the and display th actual pressures. Tyre Pressure Monitor is an option on the F10 5 series though.

I beleive the valve stem shows which stsrem you have. The metal one measure the pressure and tge rubber are the normal valves and the car meaaures the different speed of the wheels on an axle to indicate which one has lost pressurw
