The message won't go away. You have to reset your tire pressure. It's in I-Drive.

The system has to be reset with the car running and stationary.
Once you have reset the FTM system, the car needs to be driven for a short period of time to calibrate.
Reset the FTM trough idrive in the "i" menu and then under vehicle settings.

I reset the I drive concerning flat tire and all appears ok. Right after that was cleared up the low oil warning was on. I checked the oil and it showed min, in the red. I added a qt. and decided to drive it home, whatever happens who cares. BMW said today the can happen and now they want to drain the oil to refill incase it's overfilled. THIS COMPANY IS OUT OF CONTROL!

I got the low tire warning last night. We are experiencing the first real cold snap since I got the car last month. I'm pretty sure that cold weather affects tire pressure. I reset it and everything seems to be fine now.
