I’m not sure if you asked this on another forum or post (only saying because I posted this same info below in that thread)…but I have a 2015 f06 650ix GC that was imported from Canada…and it still has the FTM (indirect system)…and has an approved import sticker. I also just purchased new tires when I swapped out my old winter tires (which have the sensors since they were used on my 2013 f06 650ix GC) and mounted the summer wheels that don’t have the sensors.
I informed the tire installer that the wheels didn’t require sensors….and they never batted an eye…installed new valve stems & mounted the new tires on the old wheels. Performed the simple iDrive reset…all 4 wheels showed green…all good/no problems.
Not saying you don’t need the TPM system…just putting it out there that it doesn’t appear to be an issue for import and probably the indirect (RPA/FTM) or direct (RDC/TPM) system will meet approval.
