Runflat Tyre different for Pirelli LS vs K1-LS

Hi, Looking for replacement runflats for my current stock Pirelli Pz4 runflats on rears 275/40/R20 106W Star rated What is the different between -LS and K1-LS, will both types of tyres be suitable for my G01 X3? https://www.camskill.co.uk/m63b0s13288p153149/Pirelli_Tyres_Car_Pirelli_P-Zero_Runflat_-...

Re: How do i tell if i have TPMS sensors on tyres?

If you have the regular rubber valves, then you don't have RF TPMS sensors. RF TPMS sensors are held into the rims with barrel nuts which are usually quite obvious, and more often than not they have grey valve caps. HTH, Stuart. Hi Stuart, See attached pics, what you reckon? Can only see the top ha...

How do i tell if i have TPMS sensors on tyres?

Hi,

I have a set of Spare original BMW style alloys, which I bought with runflat winter tyres but didn't use them for the F25.

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if have the TPMS sensor on the wheels? what do they look like?

I can't put them on the car as I don't have the F25 anymore.

Thanks,

G01 Servicing costs

Anyone had their G01 X3 in for any type of service?

Got mine in for an Oil service and it way more than the old X3 F25 I had.

Interested to know if you go to the dealers or independent to get your servicing done? Also, might be useful to find out which is the cheapest dealership for servicing.

Which dealership was this? I'd love to stick it my local BMW dealership if they are selective about which dealerships will repair runflats.

Re: Screw in Rear Pirelli Runflat

Here in the UK, BMW themselves will never fix a runflat.
In the end, I got the tyre replaced. Didn't realise there was so many varients of Runflat Pzeros,. The g01 comes with K1 rated rears.

Hi all, After a pretty horrible week already with an unplanned hospital stay, I come back out to find the TPMS sensor saying the rear Pirelli runflat is underflated 1.6 I do a quick check on the tyre and found that a screw was showing about 2 inches from the centre on the inside. Obviously I will ha...

Did you get adaptive damper option?

Absolutely no need for Adaptive Dampers, way smoother by a country mile over the F25 in m-sport spec suspension.

Where can i get the build sheet spec for new X3?

Hi,

Anyone know if there any websites where I can enter the reg to get the full build spec of the new X3s?
The bmw used car search is rubbish, need to get the specs (options in particular) on the new G01 models.

The warranty checker only works on older cars, not new ones.

Any ideas, need this quick
