Why Is BMW 550i Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW 550i's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2014 BMW 550i, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get BMW 550i Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your BMW 550i alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2014 BMW 550i: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 550i dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My BMW 550i?

Let’s talk numbers: BMW 550i wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 2014 BMW 550i wheel alignment costs today.
