Why Is BMW 550i xDrive Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 550i xDrive’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has 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 system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2012 BMW 550i xDrive, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get BMW 550i xDrive Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your BMW 550i xDrive alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected.

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 550i xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
