2019 BMW 540I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the major visible damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left side, while the available right-side views do not show comparable damage. The 2019 BMW 540i has severe collision damage along the left side. The left front and rear doors have extensive broad dents, deep creases, scraped and missing paint, and white paint transfer. The lower portions of both doors, the rocker panel/side sill, and adjacent lower body areas are visibly deformed and heavily abraded. Damage is also visible near the rear edge of the left front fender. White fabric-like material is visible hanging from the left roof-side area above the front door opening and above the left rear seating position. The condition and required repairs of the restraint and airbag systems should be confirmed through a physical inspection and diagnostic scan. Additional visible damage includes light abrasion and paint-transfer marks on the lower front bumper lip and lower corner surfaces, together with several light scuff marks along the upper trunk-lid lip. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 BMW 540i sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Austria. NHTSA recall campaign 19V684000 applies to certain 2018–2020 BMW 540i vehicles. The recall concerns the rearview camera system, which may retain a setting in which the rear-view image is not displayed when reversing. BMW’s stated remedy is a free software update by an authorized dealer. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase.
