BMW 4 Wheel Alignment offer UK

Unbelievably my X3 is over 5 years old, time flies. I have never had the alignment checked as tyre wear has been very consistent but thought it’s about time before 4 new tyres.

Booked this offer at £99 and thought it was worth sharing as this is often this is closer to £180

For a main dealer the price is better than I expected.

Observations..

Their spell checking needs attention..
Step 2 recons they will check all angels. …..

Only toe adjustments are covered.

I’ve had 4 wheel alignments done in the past and it’s the camber and caster correction that makes the difference to the handling.

If your tyre wear is even it might not be necessary anyway.

Note to all.. always check your angels.

Thanks for the info on this. I'm looking to get an alignment on mine soon because it has worn the outsides of the tyres out. I was going to go to my usual place that has a hunter alignment system but they are expensive, if I can get that offer at my local BMW, or similar that would be decent. Just contacted them to see what they offer, fingers crossed they are running the same offer.

My local hunter place is quite cheap.
Even with all 4 corners adjusted it would be well under £100.
The check is cheap but you pay per adjustment.
Might be worth looking for other hunter shops?

Dealer was rubbish had a while you wait appointment at 8:30 and 10am car hadn't moved so took keys and left. My local KwikFit has the Hunter system and the guy was great , after nearly 6 years not much to change needed but explains worse than normal outer edge wear

Unless camber plates are used, an X3 alignment is a toe adjustment. Not camber or caster.
