Why Is BMW 550i GT xDrive Alignment Important?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 550i GT xDrive’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has 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 car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2014 BMW 550i GT xDrive, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 to Get BMW 550i GT xDrive Wheel Alignment
It’s wise to have your BMW 550i GT xDrive alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2014 BMW 550i GT xDrive: 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. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 550i GT xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
Costs for BMW 550i GT xDrive Alignment Services
On a budget? BMW 550i GT xDrive wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, 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.
