Alignment and DRL

[Jagged1973]

Hey everybody! So since the day we test drove my wifes 02 X5 we have noticed that its not aligned. If you hold the steering wheel center it pulls pretty significantly to the right. If this were any other vehicle I wouldnt think twice about running it down to the local alignment shop but this is our first bimmer. Part of me wants to run it to the local BMW dealer but its a half an hour drive one way to get there. I would hate to spend the better part of an entire day just to go get an alignment done. Is there any reason I absolutely should not go to any local alignment shop?

Also it wasnt until my wife was following me in her X5 that I noticed one of the Daytime Running Lights seems to be quite a bit dimmer than the other one. Can I replace this myself....or is it possible it just needs aligned? It still turns on, just not very brightly.

Thanks all.
