Driver's Side Front Wheel TPMS Question

I noticed that on my car the driver's side front wheel seems to run about 10 degrees warmer than the other 3 wheels. Pressures seem to be same, and temp starts out (cold) at roughly the same as the others, but after everything is warmed up, the one tire is, at least according to the TPMS, running 10 degrees or so warmer.

Anyone else see anything similar to this??

I made the same observation. The driver side front wheel gets a couple degrees warmer.

Guess the christmas food-related weight gains are showing...

Actually the same front wheel has 0.1 Bar lower tire preassure so I assumed it was related to that but have been too lazy to correct it.
Will have to fill it up and see if it makes a difference.

I was wondering if there is a heat source on that side that for some reason has it warmer than the other 3 corners. I will mention it to the service guys when i go in for the first oil change, which is hopefully soon!!

Its because of all the heat exchangers up front and is normal.

I've noticed the exact same thing. Bringing my M2 to the dealer tomorrow for the 1200 mile break-in and I'll ask. I'll post what they tell me.
LOVE THIS CAR

Loading up that tire on turns? Making lots of left turns or a few hard ones?
