What Can I Expect with BMW 550i Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your BMW 550i’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 the system is aligned to BMW specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2015 BMW 550i, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

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

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