My point was after a certain period, your alignment will need to be redone.

It does not need to be done on a brand new car when swapping on winter wheels
No, it's not needed. Full Stop. You can waste your money all you like, but the geometry of the suspension has a very low probability of changing with just normal driving.
A bad pot hole is enough to knock out the alignment.

Getting alignment done when getting new tires after a few years/10k miles is standard procedure on a Kia never mind an M3
Are you high? What standard procedure are you even referring to? There is no way in hell anyone should follow this advice. Your car does not need an alignment every 10k miles… your car needs an alignment when your car starts pulling left or right or when your tires start wearing abnormally. I swear, people need to stop giving stupid advices on the internet just to validate their own bad decisions
Google it man

Possibly the most basic thing you can do in a performance car. I used to do mine before every track day and visit to the Nurburgring but what do
I know
