I've got the wonderful run flats, and my FTM came on again today, I just spent $400 to have a new front right tire put on, but can't seem to figure out which tire is flat. Currently I'm waiting for the tires to cool down so I can check pressure. Anyone have any issues with the FTM in iDrive?

Checked the pressure, right rear was low, went to the gas station and filled the tire to correct psi, reset system, now I'll check again in a few hours.
And by the way, my car is just shy of 12 months old and 12,000 miles. It killed me to have to buy a new tire at 11500 miles, knowing the other three only had about 8000 left. But now I'm wondering if the dealership screwed me and the other one could have been fixed...

Sure your wheel isnt bent if thats the case... since you already got new tires...
ALSO when the dealer or whoever installed your tire did they peel off the paper sticker thats inside the wheel? My dad had that problem before it was leaking air like ever 3 days enough to where he needed to refill it. He took it back and they un mounted it and found taht the sticker paper was in between the wheel and tire and was causing air to leak out slowly.

Mine was going off, I do not have run flats nor did I have a flat. Dealer said it was a "known software issue" and reprogramed the car. Problem solved.
