What Can I Expect with BMW M3 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW M3’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. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, 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 1988 BMW M3, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get BMW M3 Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your BMW M3 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1988 BMW M3: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your M3 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My BMW M3?

On a budget? BMW M3 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1988 BMW M3 wheel alignment estimate.
