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 ealier post, there is the advanced TPM system for the 5-series, which does show the actual real time tyre pressures.

Yep the full pressure monitoring system is much better for the little scrotes that steal your BMW and drive over stingers. The standard system wouldn't pick up 4 simultaneous punctures
