Guys there is no reason to get an alignment. It is not a regular service item or some wear and tear thing. Unless you hit something to alter the suspension geometry, like bend a control arm there's no reason to get the car aligned. And even if you see uneven wear, guess what -- that's totally normal for a BMW, xDrive or not. All BMW's exhibit some camber wear. Tell the SA to go screw off and find a new SA or dealership.

That is not true. Supermarket fuel comes from exactly the same refinery as all other fuel does. In fact fuel companies have cross country agreements to fill up at each others refineries to reduce transportation costs.

As a matter of interest, the reason supermarkets in the UK sell cheaper is to bring customers to their store site. A loss leader!

Agreed, or you are getting abnormal tyre wear.

They told me my tires were fine. They said that the car was off balance from driving on potholes.. It does feel different driving, more solid than before.
