In the M Experience I was told by the instructor they leave the TPM monitor sensors out of the tires because they change tires so much they don't want to be bothered with them and that is why the warning light stayed on.I get the warning light EVERY time my tires get hot, say after 10 - 15 miles of driving in warm weather. Took to dealer today for other issues and they are claiming ignorance, can not find problem. Anyone else have this problem? Solution? Service Bulletin? Did the requisite search here, saw no common issue.
I told them to drive the car few miles tomorrow to see for themselves. I suspect a recurring problem because when I was at M Experience in SC early this year, saw same TPM Malfunction light on several M6s after hard driving. The instructors even forwarned us about the problem. Surprised dealer is in the dark (although guess not that surprised).
I have a '07 M6 converible and don't have any problem with my TPMs. Have you ever reset them after making sure the pressure was correct?
From our manual
"Resetting system
Reset the system again after each correction
of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically.
iDrive, for explanation of principle, refer to
page 16.
