How often do you check the presure in your Nitrogen filled Run Flats? - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

I'm new to Nitrogen filled tires. I'm new to driving on Run Flat Tires. How often should I check the presures? Should I use my standard tire gauge?

Are your valvecaps green or some other special type? My car was not delivered with nitrogen.

The TPMS sensors are fairly sensitive so I wouldn't bother checking them until you see a light.

They are white with an "N" on them. My last car, a CTS, actually gave you the presures in each tire, which was helpful. Run Flats are so pricey I want to take care of them.

Still check mine once a week. Probably less than I should, but I am anal like that.
