Reset TMP without using iDrive

BMWBen · 05-05-2011, 10:56 AM

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this? My iDrive is buggered (sorting out getting it replaced at the moment $$$) and then my TPM alarmed :O If I can't reset it then I won't know if I've got a puncture and will destroy my tyres/wheels/car.

Is there a secret way that anyone knows of? I'm really stuck if I can't, need to drive 500 miles this weekend!

Use the stalk on the left...

I can call up the alarm using that... but how do I reset it?

it should automatically reset on it's own as you're driving on the road.

I just recently swapped out my rims with others that have TPMS, I drove it for a bit on the road and resets on it's own without accessing it through Idive.

I thought it did that.... but mine hasn't this time, perhaps because my iDrive is broken, who knows!

i would check all my tires for the correct pressure.
Then in the dash screen, select RESET and hold it for 5 seconds, Then release. Its supposed to reset this way but i cant assure you.

I'd first double check the pressures, then i'd check the manual on how to reset TPMS
