Could the cold weather cause the tire pressure error? I reset it and it has not come back on....

Any advice about other cold weather experiences would be appreciated. My car is garaged otherwise and this is really the first cold weather it has experienced.

Thanks
My M is a daily driver, and for me that means even in the Twin Cites (Minnesota). This will be my second winter with the M3 and I can assure you the car is more than capable as I've seen temps to -30F.

As previously noted, one must be aware and pay attention to the tire pressure changes with low temps, but the TMPS system does work well if mindful. Remember, BMW originates from Bavaria where winters are in fact cold, so it's designed with adequate capability, especially compared to ATL winters .
