Why Is BMW M550i xDrive Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW M550i xDrive’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 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, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2018 BMW M550i xDrive, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from BMW. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your BMW M550i xDrive

It’s wise to have your BMW M550i xDrive alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on 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 2018 BMW M550i xDrive: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your M550i xDrive if your wheel alignment needs attention.
