1st set of tires only lasted a little over 9K and they were noisy.
Front camber was way out.
2, 3, 4, 5th set.... 13-19K all quiet with perfect wear.
I'll probably have it checked when I install the next set of tires in the spring.
either you are a very smooth driver or your mechanic has a magical touch (or just torques the sh*t out of everything lol just kiddin) but 5 sets of tires with one alignment and good wear for 75k is pretty incredible.
i owned a E46 M3 way back when and i remember I used to get my alignment every six months (just because I was able) and my before alignment was always off from how I aligned it before. and i consider myself a pretty smooth driver too.
If you track you would want to do an alignment often. If you spin out which you will from time to time unless you drive with psm on, you'll need an alignment if you spin out on to dirt, grass or gravel.
