Why Is BMW 328i Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 328i's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 BMW 328i, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from BMW. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your BMW 328i

It’s wise to have your BMW 328i alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1997 BMW 328i: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 328i if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for BMW 328i Cost?

BMW 328i 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. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 BMW 328i wheel alignment estimate.
