2021 BMW 540I XDRIVE

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1’s assessment supports this claim: the visible evidence shows extensive front-end damage, with the most severe damage concentrated at the right front corner. The front bumper cover is missing across most of the vehicle’s width, exposing mounting areas and internal components. The kidney grille assemblies and surrounding trim are also missing, leaving the radiator area exposed. Multiple lower bumper, undertray, and front plastic components are broken, detached, or hanging. The left front bumper corner and adjacent fascia are absent or broken, with exposed brackets and loose plastic visible. The right front headlamp assembly is displaced and severely damaged, with broken or separated lens or housing sections and exposed internal components. The right front corner and leading edge of the hood are creased and deformed above the headlamp, while the front edge of the right fender has broken or irregularly deformed areas around the headlamp opening. The provided findings document substantial collision damage to the front structure and lighting, fascia, hood, and fender areas. The condition of components not visible in the findings—including the cooling system, sensors, wiring, structural members, suspension, steering, and safety systems—has not been established and should be checked through a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan before purchase. The vehicle should not be assumed to be roadworthy in its current condition.
