2019 BMW 530E IPERFORMANCE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition designation and a “Left Front” primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage code, with severe damage visible to the left front fender, bumper corner, and adjacent trim. The left front fender is extensively crushed and deeply creased from the headlight area to the wheel arch. The left front bumper corner is torn, heavily scuffed, and deformed, with open gaps, missing sections, and exposed internal mounting areas. The exterior trim or vent behind the left front wheel is missing or broken, and mounting points are visible. The left front edge of the hood is also deformed and uneven above the headlight and fender. These findings indicate substantial collision damage concentrated at the left front corner. The available findings do not establish the condition of any concealed structural, suspension, steering, cooling, electrical, or hybrid-system components; a thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase or repair. Several light horizontal scuff marks are also visible on the rear bumper cover. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2019 BMW 530e sedan, built by BMW AG in Germany. It is a rear-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, automatic eight-speed transmission, and seating for five. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 18V652000 concerns certain TurboCord portable chargers, whose capacitors may fail and create an electric-shock or fire hazard; the remedy involves inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the charging cable. Recall 19V684000 concerns the rear-view camera software, which may allow the backup image to remain disabled; the remedy is a software update. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW using the vehicle identification number.
