Replacement valve stems for E9x TPMS
For sale I have four replacement TPMS valve stems that I bought from Tire Rack. I assume that these interchange with BMW part no. 36111095375 or 36146792829. These will definitely fit Style 157s (I've personally bought valve stems from Tire Rack before for my winter set, those work fine) and I assume most aftermarket wheels. Unfortunately I ASSumed that they were all the same and that is not the case; I had to buy longer ones from the dealership to fit my Style 230s which I just had refinished. These are brand new and were only test fitted (and found not to work on my wheels.) Tire Rack sells these for $32 plus shipping, yours for $30 shipped or $25 picked up. (Unfortunately the ones I really needed were about $50 from Tischer, fortunately Tischer is on the way to the place that refinished my wheels...) Thanks for looking! Edit: forgot to add, if you need some extra valve caps I have the ones that were included with my new stems as well (look the same as the Tire Rack ones) - having restored old cars for show before, I'm an "it's only original once" kind of guy so before I sent the wheels to the shop i removed the original "knurled knob" valve caps and set them in my toolbox because they were unique looking and I didn't want them to get tossed. Hopefully someone will appreciate that years from now Last edited by N8N; 02-02-2013 at 04:12 PM.. |

Do all 19"s need the longer stems?

Nitehawk, have a look at this thread where we've been exploring the mysteries of the various length TPMS valve stems.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=797342 Long story short, my best advice is to figure out what wheels you have (if OEM) and then look them up on realoem.com to figure out what valve stems you need. Or, if your tires are dismounted, remove one (if you can) and measure it. The 230s seem to be an odd duck, but e.g. the 284s require a "black" valve stem according to realoem. My understanding is that pretty much any aftermarket wheels will use the 36111095375 or 36146792829 (same part, just one part no. was superseded by the other - not sure what the difference is but they are interchangeable) "no color code" valve stems however, as those are the ones that Tire Rack will sell you, and I ASSume that they would only sell what works on the products that they sell. |
