They didn't offer up an alignment at all. Its not even a charge on the bill.
The car is also tracking hard to the right so its not like it doesn't have to be done.

Technically, the TSB for the upper arms does not call for an alignment as part of the procedure
And as long as the tie rod end and subframe have not been altered, an alignment shouldn't be needed.

I take offense to that, I was a BMW dealer tech for 2 yrs and 3 for Benz before. Anyway,
Yes, they shouldve offered it to guarantee you wont have any tire wearing issues. However, it is not recommended like s4iowa stated because its not an adjustment. To be honest alot of times our writes would push them to be 100%, but I doubt theyre needed. Except for the peace of mind, it cant really hurt, unless youre like .001" out. Then its a waste
