I did a search but didn't come up with what I needed.
My TPS light came on today. I checked the presures and one of the back tires was a little low 26psi (I'm running 32psi in my tires). I refilled the tire and reset the light but it has stayed on. I've done this process before and the light would usually go out on its own.

Any thoughts?

I had the same symptoms early in the winter. I added air to bring the tire up to the correct inflation pressure. My light went out a few minutes after going through the reset procedure. I expect that is normal.

Check all pressures one more time to make sure they are where they need to be. Then go through the reset process (in your owner's manual). I had a similiar problem, but it was a nail in right rear tire. Keep a close eye on the pressure in the tire that was low.

I don't know how it works on the Z4, but on the MINI I have to toggle the ignition after I correct the pressure and hit the reset button. For some reason the light won't go out without an ignition toggle.

On the Z3 M, the light will go out with the reset button without toggling the ignition, while rolling down the road.
