Every since i have been getting the 08 5 Series, i have had an issue with each one of them!! With the 535i that i have now, at about 2000 miles, it went in for an electronic malfunction when everything started going crazy. My wife's 3 week 335i Convertible went into the shop today for i guess a bad headlight ( the light is pink). And this morning, i got the Tire Pressure Symbol on my way to work. I checked the tires and eveyrthing seemed fine. On my lunch break, i had air placed in the all the tires and they reset the TPM system. On the way home, it flash on for about 15 minutes and isn't on now. Mine other employees have been having the same issue with their 5 series TPM systems. I never had hardly any problems when i was getting the 3 Series. Anyone else with issues with sensors or malfunctions?
And check out the loaner i got for my wife's 335i Convertible!! Another employee had just turned this car in this morning!

Well, I have never had any of the issues described though my wife's 2007 X5 had a serious leak (as in standing water in the cargo area) in the tailgate area from a bad weld...

Turned in my wife's loaner today and got her 335i Convertible. It was a burnt out wire for the Xenons which was making the Xenon look pinkish-red. Got my loaner today for my 535i. They are gonna to check the TPM system and the leaking trunk. I did get a very clean loaner out of the deal though. '2007 328i Sedan - Alpine White / Gray with Light wood.

All I've had are issues....the same ones, over and over. I've never had a car that I've looked more forward to getting rid of than this one. I have a long 20 months to go before I get my pardon.

TPM is known to throw those issues when there is a change in the weather , usually two to three times a year when the weather turns, as you know RFT's are always leaking air, sometimes it leaks out a bit too much, having the TPM signal again after initializing is kinda weird but since its gone, it might not be a problem.
