Hi Kelvin and Mark, just curious, when changing your rims, is there a need to replace the TPMS sensors as well? I guess there are 4 in total or can the TPMS sensors be brought over from the old wheels? Attached are some pics of the sensors and not sure if its on the G30 in Singapore?[/QUOTE]
Wow...this is something new to me[emoji23] current F10 doesn't have this. I will check and see is this TPMS sensor valid in SG. Thanks for the feedback.

I like your aluminum window trim! Personally feel Black high gloss window trim looks a bit cheap.

Hi Alphua, you change your rims, any comment on the TPMS sensor mentioned by Hohlim?
Anyone have experience on this?

I did a quick search online and the difference between TPMS and non TPMS is (the valve stem is the place where air is put into the tyre) that TPMS has a metallic valve stem and non TPMS has a rubber valve stem. For those who have received their G30s, they can check but I am pretty sure that the G30s come with TPMS as the pressure is constantly measured and also because I took some snap shots of my brothers G12 and my mums Golf and the comparisons are attached. Would appreciate if you guys could comment what does yours look like?

This is how mine look like, I guess it's direct TPMS. Anyway when my rims arrive I will double confirm and update you all.

When I change my rims, I will ask them to remove the existing tyre and see the internal portion. Will update you all.

Please take note that only iPhone can view the 3D remote from your mobile phone. Samsung does not support this 3D view function.
You need to set up just 1 account but can access from any mobile phone using same ID and password.
Cheers.

Does this work on every 530i or is this a special add-on?

I think the car must have the 360 car camera function in order for this to be available. PML cars all have I think.
Must have connected drive also.

I could be wrong here but just a guess...besides 360 camera and bmw connected drive,the car would need remote services (i think PML calls it remote 3D view) which my PI car does not come specified with. If my guess is correct, prospective owners who would want this would have to specify for remote sevices in their car. I will try my luck with Elebest when my car arrives. Nice function but did not do enough homework. Thanks New5 for informing.

Hi,
PML 530i Lux model comes with park assist, which include the 360 deg view around your car. You can choose to view the car when it is in parked position using fingers gesture control or touch screen.
For mobile connect, you need set up an account with BMW Int. which PML SE will gladly assist you to set up at no cost. Its an account registered to your car and your name. Once its set up, you can use the BMW app and do some remote things to your car, like unlock and set map destinations and a few more.
The app also allow you to use 3D view to see the surroundings of your car but like I mentioned, only iPhone can support this function. But iPhone cannot be use for the wireless charging that comes with 530i. Most latest Samsung hp has wireless charging features, some old models does not.
Another feature is hp mirroring which this new Idrive can support. Samsung S7 has this mirroring feature that comes with the phone. Basically you pair your phone to your car Idrive and bingo, you hp is seen on the wide screen and you can access your hp on the touchscreen of your car.
Hope the above is helpful to all new 530i owners.
Cheers
PS. Use 1 finger gesture to answer incoming phone call, in case you don't know.
