2017 BMW 640I XDRIVE

The auction record lists this 2017 BMW 640i as Salvage, with “Left Side” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the left-side damage claim, with substantial damage concentrated around the left front fender, bumper, wheel-arch area, door edge, and rocker area. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage designation cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left front fender is missing, exposing inner wheel-arch components and wiring behind the front wheel. The left front bumper corner is severely torn and displaced, with extensive scraping and exposed components around the wheel-arch opening. The wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are also torn, displaced, and partially absent. The front edge and lower section of the left door show moderate creasing and deformation, with an irregular gap beside the exposed wheel-arch area. The lower left rocker panel and side-sill area have visible creasing, displaced material, and irregular trim. Additional minor scratches and scuffing are present along the left door and rear quarter panel, including a long light-colored scuff above and forward of the left rear wheel. Based on the VIN decode, this is a two-door 640i convertible with xDrive all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. NHTSA recall 16V914000 is listed for this model and concerns seat-mounted side-airbag inflator initiators that may fail to ignite, potentially preventing deployment during a crash and increasing the risk of injury. BMW’s stated remedy was replacement of the airbag modules at no charge; recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer. The recorded damage is concentrated on the left front and left side, with several severe exterior and wheel-arch-area components missing, torn, or displaced. The condition of hidden structural, suspension, steering, electrical, restraint, and mechanical components is not established by these findings and should be confirmed through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
