Hey, I have not had a chance to check out the tires on the R56 Cooper S. Wanting to know if the runflat tires have the wheel pressure sensors built into the rims or if they are just using the ABS sensors.

Reason why I am asking is that on the 2003-2006 BMW Z4 they have the runflat indicator sensor matched to the ABS sensors. On the 2007 and newer models they are actually attached to the rim itself giving a more accurate indication of air pressure loss.

Thanks for the input, this will help me to determine what I will do for wheel/tire upgrades.
