Your dealer is correct that FTM may not indicate a problem with RFTs - one reason that the direct TPMS was mandated in the US.
Thanks ceb. You are right, my car only has FTM. I have used TPMS in a generic way - for instance VW calls it TPMS (at least in India) even though it is ABS based indirect pressure loss detection.

Are you sure that FTM won't detect a drop from 30psi to 15psi - even when driven at 100 kmph? Hmmm.. that is a bummer for a bimmer, considering the cost of RFTs!
