Car is in the shop for alignment today
I dropped off my Z at BMW this morning to have the alignment corrected. They gave me a 328i loaner and it's pretty sweet! Just kinda weird where they chose to put some of the controls. When you guys have had alignment done in the past, how much does it usually cost?

Alignment at private shop, < $100.
Usually pay around $75 for 4 wheel alignment.

Most tire shops that I've taken cars to charge roughly $75 for an alignment....sometimes a tad less.
I wouldn't be surprised to see BMW charge you an hour of labor (~$150ish).

Did mine through my dealer, as car was still under warranty and all..
Cost about $160 if I recall correctly. Definitely helped though, a couple wheels were pretty far out of spec. Get them to photocopy their computer printout from the alignment machine that shows before and after measurements. Interesting to look at. |

Was that before or after they bent you all over the trunk!  These repair bills just kill me, unreal. The stealer wanted $400 the other day to change spark plugs in my Suburban. |
