How often should I get an alignment on my 2016 BMW 3-Series-Edrive?

Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and any time after suspension work or a major pothole impact.

Greater Boston roads, winter frost heaves, and construction zones can nudge settings out of spec sooner.

Noif it tracks straight with even tire wear, you can wait until the 2–3 year or 30,000-mile mark unless symptoms appear.
