Hi Ladies and Gents,

Just wondering how often you need alignment on your E60? I had the car for 5 years and never had done that!


Your input would be greatly apreciate it....

I'd say every time you replace tires (probably abt 20K miles)

if your tires are wearing evenly and the car isn't pulling to one side or the other, then I don't see the point of doing it.

Just like DrLev said if your car isn't pulling or the tires aren't wearing evenly that's the only time you would need an alignment.

another reason for an alignment is if you recently changed your suspension...
