I wonder if the OP’s f85 is a Canadian import. My 2015 f06 is a Canadian import and it has the FTM/RPA setup…but I have no desire to increase maintenance costs by adding TPM sensors.

Don’t get me wrong…my 2013 f06 had TMPS & 2014 f15 has TPMS and it’s nice to see the PSI & temp with a simple push of a button…but I also keep a tire gauge in all my vehicles…and the FTM/RPA system still alerts if a tire gets low. So not having to worry about the TPM sensors eventually dying and needing replacement and the added expense for each wheel is a welcome relief to not have to worry about. For me…I guess it equals out in the wash.

SaNGRia…if you pop back into this thread…let us know if your VIN sticker on the driver‘s door jamb has a MAPLE LEAF on the upper right corner which would mean it is a Canadian import (see my f06’s VIN as an example below):
