Not to be unkind, but how you experience traction control in a 181 hp 20d is not really relevant to the 300 hp 35i which accelerates around 58% faster.
Tire pressure is just fine. I think it's more that the DTC programming is too generic and a single program has to deal with both 17" winter tires and 19" high performance summer tires, and with a higher powered model like the 35i, this can cause problems.
The funny thing is that I can get the wheels to spin from a standstill, or by turning while gradually increasing rpm, without the DTC kicking in until after the fact, but if I'm rolling at around 40-50 mph and put the foot down, it immediately will cut power for 2-3 seconds.
