How Does BMW X3 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your BMW X3's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as BMW intended. When the system is aligned to BMW specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2011 BMW X3, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match BMW recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get BMW X3 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your BMW X3 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2011 BMW X3: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your X3 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 X3?

On a budget? BMW X3 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, 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 2011 BMW X3 wheel alignment estimate.
