What Can I Expect with BMW 318is Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 318is's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by BMW. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to BMW specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 BMW 318is, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get BMW 318is Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your BMW 318is alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1997 BMW 318is: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 318is if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for BMW 318is Cost?

BMW 318is wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1997 BMW 318is wheel alignment costs today.

Answers to BMW 318is Alignment Questions

  • Where's the alignment light on my 1997 BMW 318is? Pay close attention to changes in your steering.

If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your 318is alignment.

  • How can I protect new BMW 318is tires? Keep new tires in excellent condition with a wheel alignment. Help them wear evenly from the start with a wheel alignment at the time of installation.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your 318is? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your 318is owner’s manual for BMW's exact recommended schedule.
