What Can I Expect with BMW 550i xDrive Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your BMW 550i xDrive’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 the system is aligned to BMW specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2013 BMW 550i 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 make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get BMW 550i xDrive Wheel Alignment

You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2013 BMW 550i xDrive: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 550i xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
