Can you obtain individual actual tire pressures from IDrive?

Curious because my previous cars had this...can't seem to find individual readouts just the system status that tire pressures are "OK".

Just got my first bmw 335i. Learning all the idrive features!

I have no idea why BMW has not seen fit to provide a psi readout for each tire.

So I gather it wasn't that I just couldn't find it? That kinda stinks. You are right, I'm surprised. The whole "tpsm" resetting thing too just seems over engineered. I'll take a simple tire pressure readout and tps monitors that trip due to absolute readouts v. Pressure variance relative to the zeroed out values.

Oh well...still loving my new-to-me car!

Been meaning to figure out as well. Surprisingly, my Acura provides each tire reading.

I think on the newer/newest cars where idrive is installed, you can code in pressure readouts for all four tires. But the functionality isn't there for non-idrive and older cars. Search something like 'code idrive tire pressure' to see if your MY can be coded, maybe it's only the '12s, maybe not.

Had a rental Dodge Journey last week. SXT trim with the Pentastar 3.6L V6, 283 bhp, 7 seats, satellite radio, keyless access, etc. I was blown away by the level of equipment you get for $25,000 on one of those. Don't get me wrong, fit and finish was horrible, it was ugly as sin and it had this weird weird shake at idle that is apparently endemic to all 3.6L cars BUT it had a really cool driver info display on a really sharp, high-res, MULTICOLORED screen between the gauges that showed actual PSI in each tire, oil temp, coolant temp, transmission temp, hours on the engine, etc. Kind of ridiculous that my $53,000 335i won't tell me shit and does so via a crappy pixelated orange screen.

Especially considering all the info is known to the car. Not like it's a matter of adding monitoring hardware for those things. Hell, my car's one of the most instrumented machines I know of. But yeah, none of the info is available to the driver. It's a real bummer.
