Can a BMW 3 Series be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system?

The BMW 3 Series can be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, but it already comes with one. The new domestically produced BMW 3 Series models come standard with a tire pressure monitoring system. The BMW 3 Series uses a direct tire pressure monitoring system, which can directly display the tire pressure, allowing the driver to monitor the tire pressure at any time. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during driving, with alerts for tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct tire pressure monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.
