Correct wheel alignment is important on BMWs as even slight changes in geometry can affect the handling, not to mention tyre wear and fuel consumption.
Simply by knocking one of your alloy wheels on the kerb or going over a pothole can effect the geometry. Also, when modifying your BMW's suspension the geometry of the car will instantly be knocked out. To gain the benefit of the improved lowering springs and/or dampers, you will need to get the geometry reset through alignment.
