What Can I Expect with BMW M3 Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your BMW M3’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment 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 your suspension is aligned to BMW’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. 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 1997 BMW M3, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 to Get BMW M3 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your BMW M3 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 lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1997 BMW M3: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your M3 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

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

Let’s talk numbers: BMW M3 wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 BMW M3 wheel alignment estimate.
