This question has been asked again and again and different people have responded with different opinions. You are the best judge for the coding changes and its effect on the car.
MO: BMW should just enable the numeric tire pressure reading, since it already exists anyway. MB provides it on their cars, so I don't understand why BMW hasn't done it.
