What Can I Expect with BMW 550i xDrive Alignment?
Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your BMW 550i xDrive’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as BMW intended. When the system is aligned to BMW specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2016 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 Should I Get BMW 550i xDrive Wheel Alignment?
It’s wise to have your BMW 550i xDrive alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2016 BMW 550i xDrive: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 550i xDrive if your wheel alignment needs attention.
How Much Does an Alignment for BMW 550i xDrive Cost?
Let’s talk numbers: BMW 550i xDrive wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
