TPM malfunction

Hi all,

I have a 08 335i coupe. I recently purchased the car and had to fix the SOS call system malfunction, couple days ago I got a TPM malfunction, but next day on my way to work, it went away...
Two days later, the message popped up again, and the reset I'm the iDRIVE is grey out. It has not go away, but I thought I would post here to see if you guys have any suggestion. I did some searches, other bimmer have issue when the computer modules got wet in the trunk, but e92 doesn't seem to have that issue; the icon was flashing at start up, and later on just lid up on the dashboard.
Couple things to note here:
1. I recently swapped out the stock 18inch rims to BMW performance wheels 269s, they are 19 inches and I have new tires on there. They were installed for 2 weeks before the tpm malfunction occurred.
2. I installed the DTEC angel eyes 64w lights from e90lighting last week, can it have interference issue? Derrick from e90lighting said it shouldn't.
3. I live in FL, temp were dropped from mid 80 to mid 60 the past wheel, not sure if it has anything to do to with it.

behind the front wheel liners are the pickup for the tpm. check them and make sure they are plugged in. I had one come loose and pop off which cause the tpms to read inactive

I had this same problem, they replaced my wheel sensors under extended warranty.
