My stock 2009 & 2012 R56 "Justa Mini's" do not have TPMS as stock.
I don't recall now; been too long; but that may have been an option or maybe it came as standard on Cooper S's and JCW MINIs?
The car (our cars anyways) monitors/uses the ABS and 'counts' wheel rotations and will give you a low tire warning (won't tell you WHICH tire however) if one is low.

Glad to know I don't need to break them all down to remove/replace the TPMS! Maybe we'll just mount the new ones, and roll it down to a shop to have the tires re-balanced and the TPMSes programmed to the car. I'll call around.
Cheers!

If the new to you wheels and tires do not have TMPS sensors a replacement set can be purchased (factory or aftermarket) if you don't want to swap over the originals. If taking this route it's probably best to purchase the TPMS from the shop you will use to program them.
Generally the tire does not need to be completely dismounted to gain access to the TPMS, just break the bead at the valve stem and reach inside to remove.
