Necessary preliminary tasks:

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
IMPORTANT: Before removing or refitting, check which generation of wheel electronics is fitted (see BMW Spare Parts Catalogue). If the wheel electronics have been removed, the complete valve must be replaced.
NOTE: There are two different wheel electronics. Generation 2 wheel electronics must be used with RDC-01 and RDC-02 from model year 03/06. Generation 3 wheel electronics must be used with the RDC-LC from model year 09/09 (all R5x/R6x vehicles).

If a tire sealant has been used, replace the wheel electronics. When a tire has been removed, do not clean the rim with installed wheel electronics with high-pressure cleaning equipment. Before the installation of new wheel electronics with valve, thoroughly clean the valve bore of the wheel rim. Do not treat wheel electronics with solvents, cleaning agents etc. If dirt contamination, wipe with a clean cloth only. Do not clean wheel electronics with compressed air.
