Factory alignment vs Tireshop alignment
Today I swapped my performance tires with DWS for the winter at Mavis, and while I was watching TV they had started on the alignment after the tire install. When I saw what they were doing, it was too late for me to stop them. My car is m-sports with only 600 miles and alignment wasn't something I wanted as I would like to keep the factory settings as long as I can. They were tweaking quite a few things as alignment screen was showing all tires red and they were tweaking to turn them green. I suspect my car to be in near perfect setting before the alignment and I'm now little worried that their settings might be bad. Perhaps it's in my head and I feel like steering is not straight. It feels like it's pulling to the right. What's your thoughts on factory alignment vs tireshop?

Just take it to your dealer and get them to re-align them if you're worried. Normally it doesn't make that big of a difference if the shop you took it to is top notch. However, if they aren't experienced with BMWs, then yeah, use your warranty for its potential benefits.
