What Can I Expect with BMW 550i GT xDrive Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 550i GT xDrive's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way BMW intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to BMW’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2016 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

It's a good idea to have your BMW 550i GT xDrive alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2016 BMW 550i GT xDrive: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 550i GT xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for BMW 550i GT xDrive Cost?
