HRE's are not designed for TPMS sensors. Looks like the stem was tightened down too tight and vibrated itself apart. Did your shop install the strap to hold the sensor against the barrel?

Cedric will become famous soon enough
holy!
I threw some rims once on my old 328ci, it threw off the tire monitoring system as well. It bothered me but i forced myself to ignore it.
But nothing of this magnitude.

It looks like it was over tightened, A LOT. When the Beru sensors are overtightened, it will split in three places at the ball-seat area, then spilt directly down the middle of the silicone backing plate (see attached pic). That will explain why it was cut in half. Over time, I’m sure the whole sensor would have disintegrated.
