TPM resets ONLY when the car is being driven. Start the process when stopped then drive till the lights go off, usually within a couple of miles/kms.

Autocross with BMW CCA is big help, also I had 535 as loaner, and this car had Goodyear's, so I spun wheels couple times. But I think it's something to do with crappy tires. Performance car should car have performance tires, even they are all season. You can't use a just regular all season tires.

My tires look okay inside out. But the steering wheel loosing bothers me a lot. I'm not sure...maybe I'm gonna try wheel rotation and alignment...The car just suddenly feels differently somehow....

You asked and you have been told, more than once.
Unless you have suspension problems then the problem is you not the car.

Could it also be that you are looking at the wear pattern on the outer edge (most visible) part of the tire? Remember, our cars have negative camber in the rear (-2.0 degrees is within spec) and so the outer edge can look like theres a good amount of tread, whereas the inner edge of the tire can be worn VERY badly - ask me how I know. 
Other than that, I have Falkens on my car and I drive almost as aggressively
in the rain as I do in the dry and I never "spin out". There has to be an adjustment in your driving style in the wet, brake sooner, turn smoother, and anticipate the spin - if there is one.
