1. BMW warranty on the alignment is 2000 miles. Unless you take your new car and throw it on a rack, this warranty is useless.

2. BMW alignment specs allow WAY too much toe. If you only ask them "please check it" and they say "It's fine"...you may still have a grossly inadequate alignment. You want toe on all 4 wheels at 0.01-0.03MAX

3. That wheel and tire package WILL show plenty of wear- you have a heavy, powerful chassis plowing the crap out of the smaller front tire. Camber and toe need to be considered.

4. A $99 alignment at a non-BMW dealer- where they know WTF they are doing and will listen to you is cheap insurance when you change tires....
