What Can I Expect with BMW 540i Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 540i's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2001 BMW 540i in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get BMW 540i Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your BMW 540i alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2001 BMW 540i: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 540i if your wheel alignment needs attention.

Costs for BMW 540i Alignment Services

On a budget? BMW 540i wheel alignment might be more affordable than you 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, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2001 BMW 540i wheel alignment estimate.
