Forgot how good a wheel alignment feels.

Just got my wheel alignment done by Jim at Tire Warehouse in Edmonton. The car feels great. It was pulling slightly to the left before and was quite darty at highway speeds. Steering is straight and true and the car goes exactly where I point it. The toe on the left front was way out according to the spec sheet.

Damn you Edmonton pot holes!!!

As they say in the infomercials: my only regret was not having done this sooner.

$124.95 for the 4 wheel alignment. There is a coupon for $20 off on their website: http://www.thetirewarehouse.com/coupons.aspx

Nice. I'm thinking my 2009 needs an alignment already.

I was contemplating whether I should take mine to the dealership or not. I can't remember how long our "adjustment period" lasts and whether it would potentially be covered by the dealership or not.

I just went with the standard specs for the 335xi. Although M3 numbers would be cool to try out. Maybe next time!

It might be worth giving the dealership a call and seeing if they can cover this for you.

Still on stock suspension.

I went to the one on 99st where Jim works. Lots of kudos for his alignment work around Edmonton!
