Option S2VBA

mcaden · 09-26-2016, 09:23 AM

My Z4 M Coupe's invoice lists Option S2VBA - tire pressure display and my wheels have the metal valve stems. Should I be able to display my tire pressure in the cluster or somewhere... or is this just basic TPMS?

Thanks much for your thoughts!

I don't think any Z4's display pressures(I have read you MAY be able to access the figures if you have the nav system - through a hidden menu), but depending on your year there are different TPMS systems. My 06 uses the ABS sensors to detect a flat by rotational differences so it doesn't have sensors in the wheels. 07-08 use the sensors.

Your explanation makes perfect sense... thanks for clarifying.
