My MY2015 M235i shipped with TPMS set to show temperature and pressure. The dealer was surprised because the 2014s just showed the bar graph.

I've noticed my left front tire runs consistently hotter than the right. Tonight for example after just a few miles it topped 100 while the right front was 88 (closer to the temp of the rears). Pressures in the two front tires is about the same.

I'd blame it on the fat guy behind the wheel, but it's consistent whether or not I have a passenger.

Is it just proximity to the hotter side off the engine? Anyone else see this?

I'd cut down on the right turns

I thought maybe I was making a lot of hard rights. But seriously I can watch it increase driving in a straight line on the highway.

I'm wondering if it's not just a bad sensor.

Check the pressure with a good quality gauge

And RESET the TPS a few times.

Tyre pressure or alignment?

I noticed this on mine as well...

It must be the engine torque; puts more load on one side of the car. Either that, or you've been unfortunate enough to encounter strong crosswinds from the right.

[Spitfi-r]

alignment would explain it.

The additional engine radiator is in the front lower left bumper, ahead of the left front wheel. The hot air going across that radiator exits just ahead of the left front wheel in the wheel well. This could explain the slightly higher temp. As is, 12 degrees difference in tire temp is nothing to worry about.

Same on mine

12 degrees may not be a big deal on the street, but it can be on the track.

You can verify if the tire really is getting a bad reading, or if there is another issue, but taking a reading with a tire pryometer.
