WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 530xi, 2007 BMW 525xi, 2006 BMW 530xi, and 2006 BMW 525xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A new BMW light alloy wheel (styling no. 18) has been available as optional equipment from April 1993. When measurements are being made on vehicles with these wheels, new sensor pins are required for the quick-acting clamps of the recommended wheel alignment equipment.
The new sensor pins are included in the scope of supply for new deliveries of KDS 1 (order number: BS 90 19 11).
