What Can I Expect with BMW 318ti Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 318ti's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has 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 the system is aligned to BMW specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1997 BMW 318ti, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your BMW 318ti

It's a good idea to have your BMW 318ti alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1997 BMW 318ti: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your 318ti dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
