What Can I Expect with BMW M550i xDrive Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW M550i xDrive'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 your system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you 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 2020 BMW M550i xDrive, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

You won’t see any warning lights on your M550i xDrive dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
