Why Is BMW 228i xDrive Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 228i xDrive’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as BMW intended. When your suspension is aligned to BMW’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2016 BMW 228i xDrive in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from BMW. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.
