My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i Alpine White Saddle Brown Interior (Gone, but not forgotten) :'(
2011 Range Rover Sport HSE Black/Tan
My car is telling me I have a Tyre pressure loss and I want to know the psi number to pump it up. It doesn't even say in the manual 
Does anyone know what the psi number is for my 530i so I can pump it up ?

If you cant find it anywhere, you can calculate it yourselves with spreadsheet I made.
In this I use the same formula as the European car-manufacturers use so the savest known calculation at the moment.
Disclaimer: though it is the savest way to calculate, there is always a chanche of filling in the wrong data or a fault in the spreadsheet. Using the right tyre-pressure for the conditions stays your own responcibility, and I can not be held responcible for possible wrong outcome.

in this map the spreadsheet and an example with 2 pictures of it.
If you cant work with it give me the data mentioned on the first opening sheet of the spreadsheet, and I will use it as an example here.

+1 to what people said before. also, if you have aftermarket wheels you may need a slightly different pressure. for example, if you had 17' wheels and now running on 19' then you may want to put a higher PSI.
also, slightly higher PSI can prevent bending the rims, can improve gas milage, and make tires wear not as fast
