How often should I get an alignment on my 2024 BMW i5 in Boston?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is the general interval.
Boston’s freeze–thaw cycles, dense traffic on Comm Ave, and curb strikes near Packard’s Corner can shorten that interval for a 2024 BMW i5. Schedule sooner after suspension repairs or a hard pothole hit to keep rear wheel drive handling crisp and tire wear even. Book a visit and we’ll check readings against factory specs.
