If you have TPMS maybe one of them is going bad?

same thing happening to me. I have FTM. Any ideas before I go to BMW?

could be the cold weather....
also helps if you state if you have tpm's or ftm's...if you have tpm's..as stated above, might have a bad sensor.. perhaps one of your rims are bent of damaged...did you hit a pothole recently...that could be a cause for pressure loss also.... |
If it is tpms check to make sure your valve stems are correctly torqued (30 in/lbs for beru's). I kept getting a low tire pressure warning that was from a slow leak due to a loose valve stem.

The best way to check is to inflate the tires to 40-50-60 psi (never exceed the max pressure marked on the sidewall) and use a water bath and look for bubbles. Any time I've had this issue and used a soapy spray to find it but couldn't the water bath did. |

That's very common - esp with TPMS the gaskets can leak or the valve insert became loose. Rim leaks are not uncommon either.

I just got lucky on my guess not to mention I also wanted to try out my new cdi torque wrench. :D |
