AGREED! I've got 75,000 miles on my 2001 X5 4.4i, 2nd set of tires, NEVER ALIGNED, still tracks dead-on straight with normal tire wear.
The only reason to re-align is if you have "shocked" the suspension (i.e. large pot hole), curbed a wheel or had suspension parts replaced due to wear. My X5 was dead-on from the factory and I won't align it until absolutely necessary since my experience has been that they don't EVER get it right the first time.
