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. 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. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2015 BMW 550i GT, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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. 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2015 BMW 550i GT: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 550i GT if your wheel alignment needs attention.

Costs for BMW 550i GT Alignment Services

On a budget? BMW 550i GT wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2015 BMW 550i GT wheel alignment estimate.
