Thanks, I went ahead and ordered a set from this eBay seller after verifying the part number with the dealership.htpcguru wrote: ↑ I got the OEM TPMS sensors from ebay (original Shrader brand, specific for 2018 X3 G01)

The seller counter-offered $94 euro for a set of 4 (due to more expensive shipping from EU to Canada), which turned out to be around CAD$145.
1/4 of which the local dealers want!
But I have not tried putting the wheels on the car yet, so there is still a risk of TPMS warning. Good luck!

Have you installed these on your X3 yet? If so, would you mind sharing a pic? I'm trying to decide what set to go with for the wife's X3.

How much does the ebay TPMS sensors cost? Are the sensors new or used? Do you have a link for the ebay TPMS sensors? Thanks

Hey guys, just purchased my X3 last week.
I am getting my winter tires installed next week.
I have the X3 30i model and I am going with the 18” setup.
The local tire shop is getting me Bridgestone Blizzak 225/60/18 but only with a 100 rating. In the manual most recommended tires are all above 104 load rating. Is this an issue? I am just facing a hard time finding tires. Thanks

you can opt for 235 / 60 /18
225 / 60 / 18 - 100 vs 105 ... you are looking at about 275 lbs more load on a 105 rated tire. I would say to explore the above option and there should more options to you on that perhaps.
IMO, 100 is fine. (The last gen X3 was recommending 100 for winter usage as that's how BMW dealers were selling them)

I had the 18" replica wheels and Blizzaks installed yesterday. I also purchased/installed the TPMS from the eBay seller mentioned previously in this thread. Did you guys have to go into the iDrive system and somehow re-calibrate the TPMS or did it just automatically read them after a bit of driving? I'm getting a Tire Change Recognized warning message on the iDrive system.

Just have it reset via iDrive:The_Professor wrote: ↑ I had the 18" replica wheels and Blizzaks installed yesterday.

Via iDrive:
1) "My Vehicle"
2) "Vehicle status"
3) "Tire Pressure Monitor"
4) Switch on drive-ready state and do not drive off.
5) Reset tire inflation pressure: "Perform reset."
6) Drive away
The wheels are displayed in gray and the following is displayed "Resetting Tire Pressure Monitor...".
After driving faster than 30 km/h for a short period, the set tire inflation pressures are accepted as the target tire inflation pressures. The reset is completed automatically while driving.
After a successfully completed reset, the wheels on the Control Display are shown in green and the following is displayed "Tire pressure monitor active. See label for recommended pressures.".
You may interrupt this trip at any time. When you continue the reset resumes automatically.

Hey Everyone
I have a 2018 BMW 750i Xdrive with 21" Inch rims, my default tire size is 245/45/19.
I have a set of winter tires and rims but the problem is the BOLT pattern from the winters are not compatible with my vehicle. I am now looking for after-market 19" rims that'll fit onto my tires. any suggestions? i am a new BMW owner and not much experience with rim/tire purchases.
many thanks

Any tire shop can help you get a set. Or you can try to find a set yourself on kijiji.

If you want to have flow formed wheels, like the above or other brands, then you would be looking at around $400 - $450 Cdn each.
If you simply just want replica gravity case wheels, then you would be looking at around $150 - $250 Cdn range each
