Yes, because the screen is showing each individual sensor. Given the nature of temps, you'll rarely have them all reading exactly the same. Pressure wise, you should be setting the fronts and rears differently anyway, but again, you'll rarely have the pairs match exact values. Especially as the system reports out to the tenth of a PSI.

Could not have set it better ! Just a little sun on one side will throw your reading totally "off"

BTW how much difference do you leave between front and back, 2PSI ? I was also wondering why it makes a big difference with the X drive and 50:50 weight ratio on this vehicle. If you happen to know...

36/44 as recommended. Slightly different if you routinely carry people/gear. I'm on the 19" 467Ms btw.

Thank you

The TPMS sensors in my X5 are wildly inaccurate compared to my other bmws. They fluctuate so much and they take forever to reset.
