How often should I get an alignment on a 2013 BMW ALPINA B7 in Boston?
Plan an alignment every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and sooner after a hard pothole hit or suspension work.
Boston’s freeze–thaw cycles, snow build-up along the Green Line tracks, and rough patches on Comm Ave can accelerate alignment drift on a 2013 BMW ALPINA B7. If you notice pull, a crooked wheel, or uneven wear, book earlier. After replacing tie rods, control arms, or struts, re-align promptly.

If it tracks straight with even tire wear, you can wait until symptoms appear or around the 2 3 year/30,000-mile interval.
For a 2013 BMW ALPINA B7 that drives true, alignments arent required at every rotation. Boston roads can still knock settings out after winter or construction, so watch for pull or shoulder wear. Align any time you replace steering or suspension parts.
