I took some time to view the new offerings, and noticed only an i8 ( nice car ) and 7 series with TPMS. It may be an option on some of the other series, not sure. I know that some of the older 3 and 5 series rims for sale on Kijiji come with TPMS, so they have been in Canada for a while.

What BMW charges and what the rest of the world charges are night and day. That said $500 for a set of four sounds normal for BMW.
I picked up a new set of four OEM TPMS with stems for $200 USD on ebay. I put them on our summer set up. The work fine. So certainly search the secondary market.
