Is this pressure loss normal?
So the bimmer sat in the garage for the weekend taking a rest and i checked the tire pressure before letting it sit for 3 days, (it normally doesn't sit for that long) i had it at 40 in the rear and 35 in the fronts. After 3 days they all dropped about 5 PSI, so 35 rear, 30 front. Mind you this is both checked on cold tires. They are mounted on my Style 195 wheels and RE050 RFT's. Is this normal for a high performance tires that they dont seal as well and lose air and when they warm up they work fine? or do i have some other issue?

If the outside air temp was about the, a 5psi loss sounds too much.

5PSI does seem a bit much. Usually cold to hot days, PSI rises about 2 generally. You may want to check all tires for valve stem leaks.
