tpms reading

2008bimmerM3 · 12-11-2008, 01:53 PM

Is there a way to read the exact tire pressure on the onboard computer in the car? Or does it only tell you that tire pressure is ok?

TPMS only tells you if it's within a safe operating range. you'll have to use a tire pressure gauge to get the exact pressure.

Which is kinda sad because I've been in other vehicles which tell you the pressure of each tire.

+1 Even the crappy rental cars I get have individual tire pressure readings. WTF BMW? You would think in a car that is designed for the track that you could get pressure readings from each tire.....whatever.

BMW did this half way, the tyre is either ok or flat. That because they figure its only flat on the bottom and top still has air in it!
