That makes a lot of sense, as it is the wheel speed sensor from the punctured wheel that is throwing up a different rotational speed.

Have been reading the 5-series manual and it does indicate the standard TPWS will show which wheel is at fault. If all wheels show the yellow/amber warning, TPWS is either not set, or there are issues with more than one wheel, possibly while resetting the system.

As I stated in the earlier post, there is the advanced TPM system for the 5-series, which does show the actual real time tyre pressures.
