Check control message

[Phatty5BMW]

Since I tried taking off my center grill, my fog light went out, no biggy i just have to find where its unplugged. My washer fluid sensor is bad also, but thats not the problem, I have the messages on the dash, but when I shut my car off tonight i got a "check sparewheel" or "check wheelspare", I can't remember exactly which one, I saw it for a half-second. I'm not having any problems but just wondering if you guys have any clue on what it meant. Maybe low on PS fluid? Tried doing a search but nothing found. It's nothing important im suspecting but i'm just curious :)
Thanks guys!!

Tire pressure warning system?

I've gotten those messages before. I don't think they were error messages, just reminders. It cycled from check FR tire pressure, to FL tire pressure, to RR tire pressure, to RL tire pressure, and then check spare tire pressure. It hasn't happened in the last 3 months or so, but I as I recall it's happened twice.

once or twice since i've owned it, the tire pressure indicator was never on this car but they had it on the circuitry for future model use.. Some where i have a document regarding it, if i can find it i'll post it. But just ignore it when it pops up. I found it, check the one near the bottom of the listhttp://www.bimmernut.com/%7Ebillr/images/earlycluster.jpg

Well thats cool. I kinda thought that that is what it was meaning but i knew that the e34 didnt have tire pressure warning systems. Cool thing to know, but will for sure ignore it if it happens again. Thanks so much guys! I love you guys and this board! :)

Wow that E34 is full of secrets.
