128i - TPMS INACTIVE?? stock wheels?

Hi all! Filled up my tires to ~45 psi just in preparation of summer months. MAX psi is well above 45. Anyways, couple of days later I get a flashing TPMS light. I assume it (maybe) finally picked up a change in pressures. I measured and still read ~45 on all four corners. Measured couple of hours later (in case of slow leak), same results. I tried resetting, but instead get an INACTIVE error. I am running stock wheels and tires (tires were replaced 6 months ago from dealer I bought car from, OEM RFTs 17" staggered, no issues til now). Any suggestions? I will bring car in to my local tire place see what they say. i'm thinking sensor/transmitters in wheel well? Maybe wiring issue or (god forbid) a module issue? Should I replace all sensors at once? Have you all gotten this warning and if so what was your fix?? As far as i can tell, warning light is purely annoying and not a dangerous situation as my tires are all near new and fully inflated, so I am comfortable driving on it. Thanks in advance and I will keep you all updated.
