Why Is BMW 550i GT Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 550i GT’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2011 BMW 550i GT, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your BMW 550i GT

It’s wise to have your BMW 550i GT alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2011 BMW 550i GT: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 550i GT dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

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