Low Tire help

So I have a low tire warning on my 128i dash its the red car with my back left tire saying low tire I put like a minute and a half of air into it at a gas station an nothing changed I guess it looks a tad bit low ... If it wasn't punctured would it say flat tire? I'm not sure if it's a flat or just low on air cause it got cold last night in MA help please I'll go back and put more air in later

You need a tire gauge. I also carry a 12V compressor, a Viair 70P (about $50). My flats have always been slow leaks (except for one on a trailer that was very old) so with a compressor I would not be stranded (or have to dump quarters into a questionable compressor at a gas station).

This should be a link to the gauge I use:

It's highly rated for accuracy and only costs $13.
