The reset process happens through iDrive. Look for the car settings and look for the tires. The car must be turned on and not moving when the reset process occurs.
Find the reset process and then you start driving, while in motion your vehicle communicates with the TPMS sensors.
I believe the sensors must be 433Mhz, and note that they run on batteries and can fail. I had a set of wheels that we recently put on my wife's car after some time in storage but the batteries failed so the sensors will be replaced.
Hope, that helps.
