Does it not work properly now? Or the readings are a little off?

That's a good question to raise actually.

Good question... Honestly I'd never use the BMW fix-a-flat stuff unless it was an EXTREME emergency.

But that's just me. does it say anything in the manual?

Just searched the manual and it somewhat suggests that there is no damage or harm to the TPMS sensor. Although it's not 100% clear.

Well...I bent that rim and didn't know it and put all that junk in it hoping to seal it. So I ordered a new wheel and was gonna swap it over. No idea if it still works or not at this point. But I just went ahead and ordered and new sensor from JLEVI streetworks, one of the sponsors on bimmerpost.

Well I used it not knowing there was no hope since my rim was already bent and was gonna limp it home. But I just got my buddy with a trailer to come get me when I couldn't get it to inflate.
