Tire pressures

[24448640]

Can't find on my 2018 X1 the actual tire pressure's. All I see are 4 green coloured tires on the picture of the vehicle. Is that all you get - green is good etc??

On my 2015 X1 xDrive35i that's all I see, too. Four green tires ... hoping I never see any other color 'cause that'll mean I have a tire to repair. It is a bummer that we have a screen and a computer but BMW can't display individual tire pressures.

I agree, I've had older cheaper vehicles that had the actual pressure! Kinda important in winter.

BMW uses the wheel speed sensors to determine relative pressure based on revolutions.

Hence the good for no good (green/red).

My newer Mini Cooper uses actual TPMS sensors.

Here's a hint...

Use a Tire Pressure Gage to check each tire. It takes less than 5 minutes to do all the tires. I do it once a month, especially with low profile tires.

LOL! Maybe some folks have back pain or eyesight issues.

The X1 uses TPMS as well, just the pressure is not displayed. On the e90 there are TPMS and not only do you not get the pressure displayed, but it doesn't tell you which one is flat either.
