What are the steps for resetting the tire pressure on a BMW 3 Series?

The steps for resetting the tire pressure on a BMW 3 Series are: 1. Adjust all four tires to the standard pressure (front tires at 2.0 and rear tires at 2.4 when unloaded); 2. Press and hold the tire pressure reset button next to the gear lever to reset. The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T L4 engine with turbocharged intake, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156ps and a maximum torque of 250nm. The car measures 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with an 8-speed automatic transmission, a top speed of 222 km/h, and electric power steering.
I remember that day when I was driving my BMW 3 Series out, the tire pressure light on the dashboard suddenly came on. I immediately recalled forgetting to reset it after the last tire change. The reset steps aren’t complicated: first, start the engine and make sure all doors are closed, then use the control stalk on the lower left side of the steering wheel to press and hold the menu button to enter the vehicle settings. Scroll to the tire management option, select reset TPMS system, and it will prompt you to confirm—just press once. But the key is to check each tire’s pressure with a gauge beforehand to ensure it meets the standard value, usually listed on the door frame sticker. After resetting, drive for about 10 minutes, and the system will automatically calibrate. I’ve developed a habit of checking tire pressure monthly, such as measuring when the car is cold, which helps avoid false alarms from the light staying on and also improves handling and fuel efficiency.
