Noticing the car is a little jittery on the road. I went into the IDrive to check tire pressure.

Greenwich BMW delivered the car with 50 pounds of pressure in each tire. FIFTY!

I looked inside the door jamb and it is calling for max pressure 38 pounds. I looked on the tire and it says 340 max pressure 50 pounds.

Wondering what pressure your car was delivered with. 50 pounds seems way too high.

Thanks

Tyre pressures can change a lot depending on the ambient temperature. If they were inflated when it was cool, and now it's warm, the pressure will increase. How long ago was the car delivered to you?

I aim to check my pressures once per week.
