325xi alignment (four wheel drive)?

My 4WD wagon pulls a bit, the steering wheel is a bit off and the mechanic who did the used car check said I should have an alignment.

The car does not have active steering, but 4WD. Right now I have the winter tires on and BMW said they can't do an alignment because my rims don't have the required holes where the custom BMW alignment machine attaches. They want $240 (Peter Pan BMW, San Mateo, CA).

Wheel Works in Mountain View charges only $127 - they say no problem if it is a BMW 4WD (on the phone).

What is the net-wisdom on xi alignment? Should I have BMW do it at twice the price and the hassle of changing the tires?

Thanks!

Don't go to the stealer for stuff like this. Just go to a profesional wheel and tire shop, they likely will both have the same equipment. The only diff is the price.
