Resetting Tire Pressure Sensors takes awhile??

My new wheels just came and I had them installed. Does resetting the TPMS sensors on the F15 take a lot longer than other cars? It literally took 10mins of driving for the car to recognize and reset the new sensors and there was a % completed status bar in the idrive screen. My E90 and both of my F10s resetting TPMS sensors took maybe 1-2 blocks tops.

Anyone else who swapped wheels noticed this?

Everything is reading fine now that it's done but wondering if this is normal or did my wheels dealer include some non oem sensors which is why it took longer to read....

That is the thing with the new VDO TPMS. It takes longer to detect and sync all of the information to the car, unlike the older Beru/Huf version that BMW stop using.

Yes, that is correct. I've swapped twice now, first to winter set, then back to original. Yes, it took 5 -10 minutes of driving each time.

Same thing here - I did it yesterday for the first time and I had to drive about 5km before they got to 100% and picked up the pressure

Thanks guys....wonder why BMW changed the sensors in the X5. The old style would reset super fast compared to this one. It was stuck at 49% for awhile then after another 5mins of driving it finished. Not a big deal i guess since i will only be swapping wheels twice a year.

MysticBlue +1 Had the tracking done last weekend and the garage removed the Alloy Gators which meant deflating and inflating the tyres. Took a good 10-15 minutes for the system to reconfigure and re-set.

My guess, the VDO have a G sensor to save the battery when the car doesn't move, hence longer lasting TPMS instead of standard 4-5 years on the older TPMS.
