If you need to replace your TPMS please do not do it with an Ebay certified part. You may get lucky with finding one with minimal issue, but you also run a higher risk of finding a TPMS that is garbage, which would essentially cost you a third trip to the wheel shop.


Spend the money on a genuine part, especially with the money you spent on the car. If you can afford a brand new F56S, you should be able to afford an OEM replacement part

I get it completely.


The parts on anything can fail at any point, hence why TVs can have dead pixel upon opening, and nice clothing can have a stitch come loose. It happens and they are an anomaly.


I only say to go OEM as possible due to the fact that your tires play the most integral part in the safety of your vehicle (kind of like replacing an airbag, you only want OEM products to ensure you do not sustain serious injury or possibly death). It's best to keep the only things that connect your car to the road as genuine as possible. It also wouldn't hurt to keep a mechanical old school pressure gauge in the glove box of your car. That way you know if it is just a TPMS sensor acting up or if you have an actual leak.
