I'll inquire at the BMW shop. They have pretty good alignment tools for their cars.
After I posted, I started to think maybe the particular tires are suspect -- Yokohamas -- which are not in their preferred tire inventory (a Discount Tire value special).
Follow Ups:
I put a PAIR of Yokes on my wifes Camry. She drives like Maria Andretti. Good results.
Her NEW car comes with Yokes so I'll let you know in 40k miles
Key? ROTATE 'em on a regular schedule. My OEM tires on my 'Lament were replaced at 35K with poor and uneven wear. They were getting NOISY, too. Never rotated 'em, either.
The new tires? A good, 2nd string tire, the Kuhmo. So Far? 34K miles and much more to go. BUT, i rotate at 5K intervals Like Clockwork. That made all the difference.
Allignment checked when I bought the new tires, but NOTHING adjusted.
Too much is never enough
Can't rotate.
What is 'staggered' tire setup?
If you mean different sizes front and rear? Now THAT's a problem.
If by staggered you mean the tires were aired with Nitrous, than that's a different problem.
Stock the X3 is a single size vehicle. Is this an 'M' version or something?
Too much is never enough
Yup. Different sized wheels. Think it depends on what package the owner bought.
A couple posts up, 'free', the OP says same size wheels.
all wheel drive works BEST that way. Differential sizing is difficult to make work with different size tires. You'll 'wind up' a driveline. At least that was so in the 'old days'.
All I KNOW is that tire rotation helps a LOT and is worthwhile.
Too much is never enough
