According to AB it's normally function (after 8km distance of loss of tyre pressure than only TPMS signal ON) but my concern is why was the delay i.e after 8km than only the TPMS signal on?What is the point having TPMS if it can't immedietly signal about the loss of tyre pressure (in my case i personally can feel the strong vibration before the TPMS notify me.Moreover if i drove the car at 180km/h & TPMS warning signal only appears after 8km, at tht time my tyre already spoiled and can't be driven anymore (R-o-F tyre can only be driven at less than 80km/h for it to last at 100km distance) & than have to call tow truck.Already e-mailed the complaint to AB m'sia, BMW m'sia & BMW german but no reply so far (only received acknowledgement of e-mail from BMW german).Any comment/opinion? or this is the the normal characteristic of f10 too Any opinion?</blockquote>
