Why Is BMW 550i xDrive Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 550i xDrive's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the 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, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

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

It’s wise to have your BMW 550i xDrive alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2015 BMW 550i xDrive: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 550i xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

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

On a budget? BMW 550i xDrive 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 get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires.
