The advert says it's good fo E46's, does it use the pressure sensor caps or the traction control to spence the low pressure, has it a button on the dash like the facelift E53?

The tyre pressure section on the scanner refers to the old pre facelift system I think, so it probably won't highlight it on a scan, hence the reason you can't success it. I'm not sure which section the traction controlled system would be under without having a look through the menus.
