i8 rear wheel alignment issue

nhBMWjoe · 06-23-2016, 05:53 PM

Hi all
I brought my 2015 i8 in for its first service at 12k miles. My service advisor notified me that I needed two rear tires and a rear wheel alignment, for a total of $1,100!!!! Obviously I am not cheap if I have an i8, but this seems totally ridiculous that I should be responsible for these repairs on a $140k+ car after 12,000 miles. Seems to me there had to be a problem from the factory. Anyone else have an issue with rear alignment?

Not here. But I'm with you - this should be under warranty. Unless they can prove that you did something to the car, like running it hard over a massive curb.
