I purchased Miro 346's, TPM sensors were installed. I now have the TPM light on in my car and when I try to reset it though I-drive, after a few minutes it just says TPM Malfunction again. Is there a second way to reset? Does anyone know what might be the problem before I have to take it in?

Do you know if the sensors were installed for sure? Could it be possible that they forgot to install them? If they are installed, perhaps the sensors are damaged.

yes, make sure they are installed properly.
My friend just spent 500$ on tpms for his 911 as the HREs did not come with them.
I had to reset mine also on the 911 after filling them up with air today.
But you have already reset them, so i really wonder if they are damaged or not installed right.

Did the installer record the 4 different radio frequencies from each sensor? The car then has to be programmed to recognize these frequencies for the TPM to function. This is the procedure I saw the guys at Dinan follow for my M5.

If the TPM sensors were in fact installed, they will automatically be recognized once they are reset through idrive. The way that you can tell if they are installed is that they have a fat alluminum valve stem. Check on bavauto.com and type tpm.
