If you have any Sullivan Tire's up by you, they do a $199 Unlimited Alignments special I guess. Might give it a shot down here on the Cape, but not sure how good their techs are with BMW specific needs. Seems like it could be hit or miss, but just a thought. Worst case you could always have them do it again until they get it right, or try another of their locations.

The guy I usually bring it to uses the same Hunter alignment machine, and used to work for a BMW dealership so he knows the cars well. He charged me $130-140 last time I got it done.

Apparently, had a chat with the agent

Non-BMW:
1-time alignment = $90
lifetime = $200

BMWs:
1-time alignment = $130
lifetime = N/A

Still a good idea to go with them?

Any other lifetime alignment offering stores for bmw that you know of?

Had a feeling it was too good to be true. The $130 they are charging seems pretty standard, but I'm not sure how great their staff is. I have had issues with them in the past for other stuff.

For instance, they wouldn't allow me to buy new non-RFT's and have them installed at my closest location. I asked if they would do it if I just took the wheels off and brought them and they said maybe, and had to check with management but didn't feel comfortable with it. The pricing on the Pirellis I was getting at the time was great, but I ended up having another place price match and they had no problems installing them for me.
