Let me just say this car is the bee's knees in terms of driving, but like with most all BMWs, the minor electrical systems can be annoying ASF.
Around a month ago after getting my car back from my indie for my clutch + flywheel replacement (went with OEM LUK flywheel and upgraded 550i/335i clutch), my TPMS light would not stay reset for more than 5-20 minutes.
I scanned the car with my Bavarian Technic tool, and got the following report:

I deleted the codes, but just like when I reset through iDrive, it keeps coming back.
If you were me, would you say f*** it and have TPMS disabled entirely from a forum member who's good with coding OR is this worth having my indie look at?
Sorry to inundate the forum with this dumb issue, I've searched relentlessly across here, bimmerpost, e90post, bmwcoding.com but haven't found a directly related scenario.

If it's an easy and cheap enough fix.. I'd keep it.. otherwise.. I hate TPMS since.. I've never had a problem myself checking... I debated even putting tpms on my other winter wheels.. but I said.. screw it.. I bought new ones for $220, sold my old ones for $100... not a big deal in the end..
