Man I would be careful with that. I bought a CPOd 135i back in the day. The car had some alignment issues that I didn’t notice for awhile after I bought it. At highway speeds it pull to the left. I thought it was simply the slope of the road.

Asked he dealer to check alignment at the first service and the couldn’t get the front wheels into spec. I took it to a different dealer and it ended up being a tiny bend in one of the rods (after a few days of checking). I’m talking so small you couldn’t tell the bent part from the new one. But that little bend caused a definite pull on the steering at speed.

All that to say a tiny little bend on one part caused all those problems. I can’t imagine what was done with all those pothole hits…

Naturally the alignment was “good” at purchase but was magically out when I took it in... so I paid some out of pocket. The second dealer was awesome and good willed quite a bit of the labor.

My vote is hard pass.
