TPMS
Just a word of advice.
Get a spare TPMS sensor and keep it in the car. I was on a road trip through the Alps and on the way I got a TPMS system failure idrive message. Car was ok so drove on. Stopped for gas and after starting up again got really bad vibration- at 70MPH car was undriveable. Had a look and pressures etc seemed fine. after a few stops decided to goto the nearest dealer in Belgium. They found that the sensor had snapped inside the wheel and was bouncing around creating the vibration. Luckily they had one in the parts department, but if this was to happen to you there might not be one in stock or you might have no dealer near by. Neil.
