Morning guys,

Got quite the shock this morning when this symbol popped up on my dash. Initially thought it was ABS failure or something (panic) but my friend google tells me its a flat tire warning. I hope this is correct?

Can someone recommend tire pressures i should be running & how i can reset the dash warning using my stalk. I have non-idrive e90 2008 SE.

Fronts : 8.5 X 19. Tyre: 225/35x19
Rears : 9.5 X 19. Tyre: 265/30x19

Thank you in advance

That's tpms warning, means low tire pressure. Get a air pressure gauge and on the inside of the driver door jam is the recommended psi. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Thank you Nick. Can i still go by the recommended psi on the driver door even if i have upgraded to aftermarket bigger wider wheels n tires?

As above. Use the standard tyre pressures highlighted on the door sticker. Even with wider tyres and rims you can still use the pressures highlighted.

When your stationary I think it lets you reset the tire pressures using the stalk. Cycle through the options until you get an option that looks like the symbol and says RESET. Then press and hold the stalk button. Do this every time you correct the pressures.

Thanks Raj, this has answered a long standing question of mine.

Inflate your tyres to the correct pressure go to the icon in your stork menu push the button once on the icon it should then show s little tick box without a tick then hold down the button until the tick appears in the box then drive away

I have 19s on my car and it was recommended to me by the tyre fitter that I have 38 psi rear and 36 psi upfront. He could have just picked those numbers out of the air of course.

Many don't ensure that second tick and fail to get a reset, even if they do drive away, both are an essential part of the resetting procedure.

Not sure why Bmw did it like that really would have been better with just one long button push, it took me a couple of goes the first time I did it to work it out

Run 38 in mine also

2.7 bar front - 2.5 bar rear. I'm sure thats what it says on the door sticker.. It's raining so I'm not going to check.
As was said, It's very important to reset your tpms once pressures are confirmed.
