Question Tire pressure monitor

I hope this is in the correct area. My tire pressure monitor on the iDrive screen never matches what my tire pressure gauge tells me. I just want to know if anyone has had the same issue and I'd like to know the accuracy of the built in TPM in my M2. I suppose it could also be an inaccurate tire pressure gauge.
Thanks for any info.

What is the basis for your comment? "they will never match"

Well. In my wife's Ford the TPMS is dead on. In my mom's Lexus it's dead on. So why is the BMW always read low.

My TPMS generally reads approx 1-2 psi less than my digital pressure guage.
Pretty sure there was another thread on this a while back with other owners stating the same.

My tire pressure monitor seems accurate, however the temperatures of tires are off as much as 6 degrees.

Would be great to see tire pressure even if slightly off, in Canada cars do not come with the TPMS sensors, so no tire pressure reading at all. When we get a flat/low pressure, it will give us a warning but we have to figure out which tire it is.
