How often should I get an alignment on my 2010 BMW X3?

Every 2–3 years or around 30,000 miles is a good alignment interval for a 2010 BMW X3, and sooner after major pothole impacts or suspension work.

This timing keeps steering true and tires wearing evenly on your BMW SUV. If you regularly travel around Medford and Boston construction zones or hit rough roads, consider checking alignment earlier. You can schedule service for a quick evaluation, and review current service specials before you book.
