Low tires prevent sports and Eco mode?

Avenged328i · 10-28-2014, 07:45 AM

So this morning I hop into my car and notice that all my tires are low.
Didn't care too much about it.
Then I tried to throw it in Eco mode and it wouldn't engage.

Does the low tires really prevent you from switching into eco and sports?

Thanks.

Yes, you are correct. See my thread here: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1046046

my car has incompatible TPMS sensors... i have a set of wheels on my 2014 that came off of a 2013 (397's) and the sensors are not compatible. However my car still goes into eco pro and sport mode with no issues. I guess a faulty sensor is treated differently from actual Low Tire pressure readings.
