I took my 2017 i3 into the dealership for its last free REx oil change a couple months ago and my local BMW dealership, which seems to know the i3 pretty well, strongly suggested that I get an alignment once per year. Based on what I've read here, it sounds like they were being honest with me on that point. Since I was already there I just let them do it. As I expected, they charged a lot for a one-time alignment ($200).
I think that my local Firestone place charges $200 for a lifetime alignment, or maybe half that for a 12-month alignment. Should I just trust Firestone to do it right or should I keep taking to the BMW dealership? I understand that there's nothing especially unusual about the suspension of an i3, so I'm tempted to trust Firestone to do this, but I'd like to hear some other opinions. Thanks!
