Would TMPS sensors from Acura work on 2018 BMW 540i?

Changing cars at the moment and need a winter setup for the new 2018 540i asap. I have a set of winter wheels I was using on my 15 Acura MDX and it has TMPS sensors that I am thinking to re-use for the BMW.

Anyone know if the acura or acura compatible tpms will work with BMW? I have no clue now if those are original or not. If yes, do I need to do anything special to get those to operate on the BMW?

Thanks

This is a good question. TPMS get tricky when you start swapping wheels/tires to other cars. I think they'll technically work, but I'm not 100% sure they'll give you an accurate reading.

If you don't find the answer here or Googling you could always put them on and drive around for 5 minutes to see if they're accurate. Also, when you swap wheels/tires make sure to change the size of your set up in the iDrive screen.

It will not work. Different protocol and frequency may be different too.
