Resetting the alarm just tells the system to use the new tire characteristics and monitor from there.
Now what to do with a slow leak in my RFT.

Thanks to everyone who replied... yeah, first time it happened I thought dang, I need a new tire, so I started calling around and WOW are they pricey.
Can you believe it, a few months ago, I found a FORK in the rear tire. yes, a FORK stuck in the side at an angle about 3/4 inch. Pulled it out, thought that's it, tire is shot---but it held the air. So... then this warning stuff starts, maybe a slow leak from the fork? NO--when we checked the pressure it was the OTHER tire that was low not the FORKED one.
Then I called the BMW dealer about 25 miles away and the guy said, sir before you come down here just put some air in it. He told me they have a lot of cars come in with this warning light issue and all they need is an air adjustment/re-set button, no big deal. So, I'll just wait and see...
