Once again we got our tyre puncture warning.. they seem to come after every ~250 km.

Anyone experienced or experiencing the same? Is there a cure?

Check the air in the tires... The rotation speed on ONE of the tires *IS* off for this to come on.

Check the air in all the tires to be what is spec'd on your driver door badge and RESET the system. When it comes on again, you *WILL* find a tire with an air leak.

Trust me, I also doubted this twice and each time I've found a defective tire (on my Z4) or a valve problem.

What sort of "defects" have you experienced?

One tire with a small puncture (very small). the other was a defective valve assembly.

If they are run flats, you're hosed as they cannot repair them....
