My Ride: 2005 545i Sport, Premium, Logic 7, Jet Black, Black Leather, M-Aero Kit, 15% (very dark) Tint, Eichbach Lowering Springs, Red Brake Calipers, Radenergie R-10's, Michelin PilotSport2 in 245/35/20 and 285/30/20, Rolled Fenders, and a nifty Graco Baby Car Seat.
Next Up: Xenon fogs, Eisemann Exhaust, iPod Interface, Comfort Seats.
I use the air from the gas station, but I use my own tire guage to test the air pressure- I don't rely on the one attached to the hose at the gas station.

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
I use the service station's compressor at the thieving price of 50 cents. Hell, I can't even get air for nothing. Everybody got to make a buck I guess.

The gauge at your BMW dealer is supposed to be controlled each 3 months ! So it's supposed to be fully reliable ! .... Air is free !! 
I bought a Dainu gauge inflator with my air compressor, and, compared with the one at my my BMW dealer, it's the same scale (+- 20 gr difference ).
DO CONTROL your tires pressures very OFTEN ! It's very important for your pleasure & your safety !

Personal electric compressor that uses 120V wall outlet power. Much faster and much better than the portable rechargable ones.
I like to do it at the convienience of my own driveway. They're cheap now too like $30 at most.
