Tyre pressures - 530d UK

Hi,

my TPM is showing 2.2 on all tyres. I'm going to get pair put in them. They should be reading 2.6. It's been years since I used a tyre pressure machine in a garage and last time I used on it was two digits, eg 36.
Can the machines switch to a decimal point system?

Thanks,
Bal.

Yes psi and bar both catered for.
Have mine set to bar. Have a bicycle pump at home that works for the car aswell and simply pump the tyres whilst keeping an eye on the idrive to make sure it's correct.

Have a shortcut button aswell so I can instantly see the pressures. With recent temperature changes worth keeping an eye on them as they can end up a bit low if the temperature has dropped since last check.

Cheers.
Where in the idrive can I change the settings to psi.

Thanks.

I think it was under "units "but don't recall exactly where. Just dig around the menus and you will eventually find it
