4-wheel alignment report

Picasa Web Albums - evolvah - X5 alignment ...

Does this mean that my front end (especially, left front) is not properly aligned still? Should I really expect to replace my tires after another 11K miles?

I also noticed that the vehicle pulls to the right... Should I come back to the dealer to have it fixed, assuming that they have just done tire replacement and a 4-wheel alignment?

No alignment xpert, but on a straight, flat, uncrowned road, without
gusty side winds, your X should track like a slot car for some distance
before your weight/road subtleties take over and effect some drift, imo.

Our nearly 8 yr old '01, with orig supsension, never an alignment and,
worn tires, still tracks like a sled...

I even put it in neutral to exclude the smart torque distribution mechanics from the picture and it still drifts to the right. The loaners I had did not pull on the very same road... You are lucky with you alignment and I'm getting paranoid about mine.
