Why is there an option to switch display pressure settings from psi to bar? I haven't come across anything that displays pressure.
Am I missing something?

Good point Fred. I have not seen any pressure based figures given through the system. I have had a flat and nothing is reported there other than "you have a flat".

Guys, Since my car is still just a thought at BMW (code 112 as of last week) I am not speaking from fact. I do have the iDrive Menu. access iMenu and go to: Display settings, then units, then preasure. Beyond that... I hope this helps or it proves those of us with a little knowledge are dangerours!

Oops sorry, I did not welcome you to the Best e60 Fourm on the Web! Nice place to hang out. (although a bit expensive with all of the neat things folks come up with and then they even give the directions.) I wonder if the next step will be the member will show up at your door to help?! Any how a warm welcome it is through our diversity we are stronger.

Good point FF.
Hopefully it means with a new software release the I-Drive will be able to tell us which tyre is flat and by an estimated how much.
At the moment you can not see which tyre is low/flat once the warning comes on because the side walls of the run flats are so hard.
