The in-dash tire pressure monitor keeps telling me my RF tire is low. I've checked it -- it's not low (35 psi).

To reset the TPM, I come to a standstill, select "reset" in the iDrive menu. The red tire symbol then turns to yellow, and then a few minutes later, back to red again.

What gives here?

after you select reset, drive around for awhile, it takes a short amount of time, but as stated above, it will not reset while at stand still...

could be a bad tpm sensor as well..assuming you reset the tpm's correctly (goes to "ok") and then the warning returns...

It may be "low" relative to the other 3 tires. Confirm tire pressure in all tires and reset TPMS - drive about a mile. If that doesn't do it it may be a problem with the specific sensor in the wheel, the antennae, or elsewhere - may mean a dealer visit
