🔍 DORMAN 974-079 Direct-Fit TPMS Sensor Review

Installed on a 7 year old BMW X5 and to this day they remain unconnected. They can be fine for a few weeks, then of course the system goes down for a few days. I just learned to wait for it to reconnect as I overpaid for the install and the money is going out the window.

I installed them in a specialist shop when changing tires. Installed for free and works great. I've saved hundreds by buying them instead of OEMs and while BMWs are fickle I've only had to reset them once. Driven 2000 km with it, no problems.

I installed them on my 2007 BMW X3 and they work great. No problem having them programmed into the TPMS system by my Indy mechanic (not a BMW dealer). Much cheaper than OEM sensors and they work just as well. They shipped very quickly and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I put it on a 2008 BMW 550i. All four worked perfectly and were easily recognized by the machine. Save epic money and get it. Make no mistake! Finally a cheap repair for BMW! And no, you do NOT have to go to a car dealership for the car to recognize them. Firestone Autocare in Franklin, Tennessee did all the work.

I bought 2 snow tires in January 2016 and they work great. I bought other brands and the battery life was less than a year! Was looking to buy 2 more for my other 2 tires this year and noticed that Revane says they will NOT fit my 2009 BMW 328i. That is not right. Checking the Dorman website also confirms that they work on my computer.

My 07 328i recognized it with no problems. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the valve stem doesn't fit the sensor properly! I think it's the seller's fault as I bought it used. To fix this I had to use another longer screw, luckily I already work with the hardware so finding the right one was easy for me.

They worked for several days and even correctly gave a 'low pressure' warning (the tire dealer only set it to 30psi). I then intentionally deflated the two rear tires to go drag racing (40psi to 22psi). I've done this many times with my stock gauges and never had a problem after inflating my tires. Now I get the message "inactive" and am looking for a solution. Update: They are working again. Now 5 days in a row. Let's see how long this lasts.

Works on my 2007 335i with no problems. Installed them in the Indy Shop. Then I pushed the reset button on my car and drove off. The only problem was that I had to do 2 resets. This means I pressed reset on my car, drove 10 minutes and the sensors didn't register. I pressed reset again and the sensors registered and there were no problems. They fit right in and require no programming tools. Just push the reset button in your car, drive 10-20 minutes and bingo!
