Bolting on new Rims
Hello fellow enthusiasts, I purchased some 18" OEM M3 rims last year from a individual on the board. My concern is, can I take the rims off by myself and put them on? I've never done this before (don't hate!!!). I store my car for the winter so it's sitting in my garage. I'm more scared that I will get some heavy wheel vibrations when I drive, but I don't think it will because it came off a e90 and is going back on a e90.
Thanks =) |

You will have no issues at all. Just remember to re-torque the wheels after ~100km of driving.
30 minutes max, if it is your first time. After that, it gets quicker

Not at all, Canada does not use the TPMS like the US has. If you are using stock 18's, your monitoring system should not even notice the difference. You could swap back and forth all day long and not have an issue.

OP, you have to ensure that you have the correct sensors inside the 18s you purchased, and they match your MY. MY08 and 09 sensors are different from the MY10 and MY11. If you mix and match, you'll have the TPM light on all the time. Hope that helps.

We sure as hell DO NOT have the same TPMS as the US cars do.

We do have a tire pressure monitoring system. The tires came off of a 2008 and are going on a 2009.

But, yes, we do have a tire pressure monitoring system but it is very different than what our US cousins have.

And we should be thankful here in Canada that we have this "sort of" TPMS. Between my 3 vehicles at home which I do all of my wheel changing on for summer/winter (with the occasional non-oem rim), it makes life alot easier....and cheaper.

Thanks for the clarification everyone. I must apologize for the mixup between tmps and ftm.
