I was at my local tire shop having my Dunlop winter sports mounted and installed when I noticed both the fromt AND rear tires were wearing on the inside. I never experienced rear tires wearing like that. Is the alignment covered under warranty? If not was is a reasonable fee to pay? Does it have to be performed at a BMW repair shop because of the active steering? Thanks in advance guys!! This forum is the best source of BMW info!!

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Apparently not: When I had my new Dunlop Thumpflats mounted (under warranty), the only charge I paid was for an alignment. Cheap insurance and we'll see if they do it again next week for my latest replacement set.

Nope its not covered... but I always found it odd... they're willing to cover brakes and wipers and everything else but why not alignment? I cant imagine that many people needing an alignment that often... guess FULL Maintenance minus alignment...

my dealer charges about $200 for an alignment, but its been discussed that the price varies. here's a thread from before about an alignment that i found: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...active+steering hope this helps.
