TPMS Antenna Location

Hi,

I have an '08 335xi coupe and have an error with my TPMS. I've had the sensors in the wheels verified to be working properly. BMW said I need a new antenna, which I've purchased. However, I cannot determine where it is located. I checked behind the passenger side front wheel well to no avail and can't seem to narrow down the location from various online searches. Anyone know? Here is a pic of what I'm talking about:

Thanks!

Your right, it is hard to find any info on it. I have a similar issue. Best I could find was this info on bimmerfest about an 2007 5 series

"For the E60's there are 4 transmitters and only 1 antenna (I called and confirmed at a couple dealerships... although they weren't sure where the antenna is located. They guessed either in the rear bumper or possibly in the front drivers side wheel well or underneath the car...) The antenna is what actually talks to the RDC Control Unit (which is in the trunk, under the spare). I'll try to look around some more for it when I get home. "

Location of tpms antenna

It's behind the PASSENGER REAR TIRE.
TIRE STAYS ON, CAR STAYS ON THE GROUND.
Simply remove the couple of screws holding the very bottom of the inner fender liner and peel back, boom!

The RDC module in BMW is like where's Waldo. If you have an e93 it's in a different place than the e92 and it depends on if your car is an LCI or pre LCI.
