My Ride: 2008 535i, Premium, Nav, Ipod
I have a 08 LCI 535 and I need to reset the TPM's. I went to the correct menu in the I-drive; however, could not reset the them. All tires should green. I have changed the tires and need to reset them. Anybody can help me with this.

You are still low then... Also It takes a couple minutes to recalibrate the systems readings. Are you sure that the rims have the TPMS sensors installed on them? There is a special type of valve, and a sensor that is mounted on the Barrel of the rim Before the tire is mounted. Apparently a 10% difference in what is recommended will set it off, that works out to be like 4psi.
If you reset it in iDrive "I" menu it should not take that long to go to Normal ( all green), if it won't check your Air pressures correspond with the stuff BMW indicates on the inside of the drivers side door. You may need to take your car to the dealer if they do and you are still having issues.
If you put new /winter tires on or new set of rims , did you get the Sensors transferred from your old set or get a new set from BMW ( should be like $300) , if not you should read your instruction manual or talk to your service dept.

You need to actually drive for a bit after hitting the reset button or it will NOT reset.
