Sorry it says tpm malifunction what is that ?

Tire Pressure Monitor. There may be an issue, or it could just be saying that. Try resetting it through idrive or holding down the TPMS button...If it returns, get it checked out.

Did you change tires recently?

The TPM needs to be reset whenever the tire pressure changes on the car. New tires mean new pressures. This may be your problem. Read how in the manual.

Next to your unlock button is the tpm reset button... Stop fully press and hold then when it starts flashing you start to drive this way it picks up the accurate psi

Edit: it might not be because of the tire change because it would have said flat tire. If there is a problem with the tpms then have the dealer look at it

Did you tint the windows?
Heard of certain films messing with tire pressure monitors.

Tire shop could have reversed the tires, so try the reset (you can also do it in iDrive). If it doesn't work, then my guess is shop damaged a sensor. It could also be one of the batteries died, but unless your car is an '08 with 50K+ miles, it's highly unlikely. Plus it'd be too much coincidence for that to happen exactly when tires were replaced. Good luck.
