On the E60 the FTM only picks up a flat tire for RFT (meaning RFT with 0 psi) because as ceb said the RFT sidewall is stiff and it will create a problem for the FTM to pick up the slight difference of tire pressure as presented in a slow leaked situation.

I know because the comp prompt me about a flat on my RFT then I take it into the shop and they say no air inside the tire. Couldn't say is a design flaw as RFT tires are design to "Run flat" and you are not suppose to plug your tire on a RFT.

The best solution is get rid of the RFT then the FTM will pick up a slow leak.
