2024 BMW I5 eDrive40

This 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage to the front bumper, grille, and front fascia supports the “FRONT END” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has extensive collision damage. The bumper cover is torn, displaced, and separated from the surrounding body panels across the center and both corners. Several front fascia, lower-grille, and trim sections are missing, leaving mounting points and internal components exposed. An internal horizontal bumper reinforcement beneath the fascia is visibly bent and damaged. Additional broken and displaced grille and fascia sections are visible with the hood open. The visible upper engine-compartment components do not show unambiguous damage in the provided findings. The rear bumper cover is missing across the lower rear and both corners. Internal bumper, mounting, and sensor-related components are exposed, with visible displacement, broken plastic sections, and abrasion. The instrument display shows an “Automatic PDC activation malfunction” warning, indicating a fault in the parking-sensor system that should be diagnosed after repairs. The extent of damage to the exposed sensors, wiring, mounting structures, and related driver-assistance systems is not established by these findings. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is a battery-electric vehicle with a listed output of 335 horsepower. The VIN decode also lists standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping and lane-centering assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assist, and rear automatic emergency braking. NHTSA recall records provided for this model year include campaigns involving the steering-wheel hands-on detection system (23V700), the external pedestrian warning sound generator (23V885), the integrated brake system and ABS/DSC functionality (24V104, 24V697, and 26V422), high-voltage battery-module welds (24V135), and electric-drive motor software that may cause loss of drive power (25V395). The remedies include inspections, software updates, or component replacement as applicable. Recall repair status should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase, particularly because several listed recalls concern braking, high-voltage battery safety, or loss of propulsion.
