What Can I Expect with BMW 550i GT xDrive Alignment?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 550i GT xDrive’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 2011 BMW 550i GT xDrive in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.
When to Get BMW 550i GT xDrive Wheel Alignment
To keep your suspension in good shape, have your BMW 550i GT xDrive alignment checked about 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2011 BMW 550i GT xDrive: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, 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 550i GT xDrive if your wheel alignment needs attention.
How Much Does an Alignment for BMW 550i GT xDrive Cost?
BMW 550i GT xDrive 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. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
