Yeah, looks like they put in TPMS sensors. Unfortunately, the E46 cannot communicate with those. One of your previous valve stems could have had a small leak and was triggering the TPMS light. That or there was a leak where the tire seat on the wheel and the remount fixed that.

Originally posted by CybrSlydr View PostEnded up getting the eBay used driveshaft with CSB and had it shipped to the indy. Got the car back today. Driveshaft was $300, total bill from the shop was $1416.29.
1x 252.42 for the drive shaft flex joint
1x 114.55 for the fuel filler door lock actuator (had him do that too, though the magnet is still busted)
4x 153.00 labor to remove and install drive shaft
1x 153.00 labor to remove and replace the filler door actuator
1x 150.00 misc parts
$765.00 labor, $516.97 parts plus taxes
Their rate for imports is $153/hr,
Found the invoice from the fuel pump install, so I figured I'd run that one here since you all said $1200 was too much.
$1300.85 for fuel pump and relay
3x 153.00 labor for remove/replace fuel pump
1x 693.68 for fuel pump part
1x 23.48 for the fuel pump relay
1x 0.10 remove/replace relay
$459.10 labor, $693.68 parts plus tax.
Also took it to a tire shop to get the TPMS sensors fixed as it's always telling me I have a flat, that was $230 for 4 new sensors and reprogram of the system or whatever.
Have an appointment on Friday to get the brakes looked at and then an appointment at 1pm to have a body shop look at some cosmetic stuff I'd like to get fixed and see how much that's going to hurt.Instagram: @logicalconclusion

Now, I held the button and cleared the red tire light after driving down the interstate and getting off and coming back and the light went off but hasn't come back on.
I don't know what black magic fuckery is going on that whatever they did fixed it, but I don't have a red tire light on my dash anymore.
By not doing so, you have learned an expensive lesson.

1) Check / adjust pressures
2) Turn on ignition (key position 2)
3) Long press to get the red light off
4) Short press to get the yellow light on
5) Start engine and drive off, light will turn off after some drivingIG: @limited.slip

Ditto on what everyone said. You either had a slow leak that triggered the TPMS light.2006 Silber Grau Metalizat ZCP 6 MT M-texture (F2AT) - Turner CSL V2/CatCams 280 272/SSv1/SS Sec1/Sec2 dual res/SCZA TI (raw) - FatCat stage 3 ult 400f/784r - EC7r 18x9.5 ET35/CRS 275/35/18 - RacingBrake BBK/MileEnd CSL bumper/Vorsteiner Trunk/Cobra Nogaro Circuit Mtexture/GC RCA/YURKan Cages/Hotchkiss/Vibra-technics/
