And of course, it can't display the actual pressure in each tire - though I am not sure if any e9x's can do that. I don't have iDrive so my car can't- but my F22 could show pressure and temperature for each tire.
Of course, indirect is cheaper. But the original sensors in my car are still working fine after 9 years.
