that's even more proof that BMW took the cheap way out and provided less technology that other, less expensive cars are offering.

it would be so much better if we could see actual pressures so we knew which ones to adjust and fill up. if they all started getting low, which certainly happens over time... then we'd never know it because as you said, the ABS system only measures differences. stupid.
