2013 BMW 550I XDRIVE

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with deformation at the left front fender and surface damage on the left front bumper. The left front fender has moderate creasing and deformation above and behind the wheel arch, with irregular panel contours near the headlamp. The left front bumper corner has minor surface scuffing and light paint transfer below and beside the headlamp. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, passenger dashboard airbag, and upper side curtain airbags. A curtain airbag is also hanging along the upper left side of the passenger compartment. The complete restraint system, including airbags, pretensioners, sensors, and related control modules, should be professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as required before the vehicle is operated. The VIN decodes as a 2013 BMW 550i xDrive sedan, built by BMW AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 4.4-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine and all-wheel drive. One NHTSA recall is listed for this model year: campaign 15V188000, concerning rear reflex reflectors that may not reflect sufficient light. BMW’s remedy was replacement of the rear reflex reflectors at no charge. The available information does not confirm whether this recall has been completed on this vehicle.
