You have to drive the car for it to reset. If you did that already, try turning the car off, locking and waiting an hour or so - iDrive will restart when you restart the car and hopefully, fix itself.

What this could be is if your front and rear overall diameters are not close enough, the system will not be able to conclude the FTM test, thinking that front wheels are underinflated, so it would just be stuck in "resetting" position, because it simply cannot reset...

Weird. I was going to say check the ABS sensors, but if there was anything wrong with them, you'd get an ABS malfunction message, so thank G-d that's not happening. You're rolling on aftermarket wheels, right? What are your tire sizes front and rear?

What tire sizes do you have? if you went with anything other than recommended, this is the reason for this problem.

Does this happen with your OEM wheels too?

Its most likely the FTM module then (is there an FTM module? I can't find it on realoem for some reason - maybe someone else can chime in).
