Do nothing! Or buy a new vehicle with TPMS.

Don't know if joking or serious?

I've had that message come and go, and it only got worse. If your X3 is still in warranty then bring it to the dealer and let them sort it out.
If not, and if adjusting the tire pressure and then doing a reset do not resolve the issue, then it is time for a dealer visit. It could be a bad sensor in one wheel, or it could be a bad RDC control module.
If the codes point them directly to the module, as happened with me, my recollection is that the module is about a $400 part, and the labor to replace it is about $70.
If they have to check the wheel sensors one by one then I don't have a guess on what the cost would be.

It could be TPMS, I recently got new set of tires about a month ago. I'm not sure perhaps, the installer damaged one of the TPMS on one specific tire, but then again wouldn't that damage be evident right after the new tires were installed? In the mean time, thanks for the help, I guess ill setup an appointment with the dealership. The warranty is good until March of next year.
