My 2011 E87 had TPMS light come yesterday, checked tyres and one was slightly low (down ~8 psi) but now light wont go out again.

From what I've read these don't have actual pressure sensors in tyres but work on wheel rotation. Is this correct? I have driven vehicle since pumping up tyre but light remained on, is there something I need to do to reset it?

I'm bit nervous as car goes in for MOT work Monday and I go away Tuesday so don't want it failing on this now with no time to sort issue.

Welcome to the Forum

Check your handbook for the reset procedure or Google there are a few videos. First make sure all 4 tyres need to be the correct pressure. Then go into the iDrive and folloe the reset procedure the light will stay on until the car is driven 

Good luck

Dave

      Angel light not working

      Hi Dave, I have managed to swapout with a replacement TMS module. The angel light is now working on that side.. however I still getting a "Headlight vertical aim control failure". When I start my car in my garage I can see the lights go up and down briefly then the error appears. Do I need to reprogram the module? I brought the module from aliexpress.

      Hi

      Morning John A warranty is one of those insurances that we hope we never need BMW warranty is obviously reliant on maintaining the BMW service history and I have never heard of any bad experiences they are not cheap though After market Warranties can be just as good there are several out there. I used Warranty Wise for my E53 4.6is they were very good and covered the car up to it's 16th birthday So do your research check the what is covered and what is not carefully against cost Good Hunting Dave
