:mad::thumbup:I have BBS on my wifes e36 they will not accept factory sensor if it is in the valve stem. You can get a hella system that uses a band to mount the sensor to the rim.

I think that you can buy an adapter to work , but I want for Gary to reply as he should know

The LM wheels that we currently sell use the OE stems and sensors for this vehicle application. If your LM wheels don't accept them, they must be different. I'll need the part #s off of the back of the wheel. I can then do some research and see if we can find a way to help.

ok i have not gotten the serial numbers yet ..but the dpalce i talked to who did the install said it was the angle and the fact that the vlalve is in between the stepped lip and outer lip ..he said the sensor will not seal because it is at and angle and the adapter would have to be a half moon cout out shape ..thoughts?
