2020 BMW M5 Competition

The auction record lists this 2020 BMW M5 as having a salvage vehicle title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that visible collision damage is present along the vehicle’s left side and left front bumper, supporting the stated SIDE damage area; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most severe visible damage is concentrated around the left front fender and wheel arch, where the metal is heavily creased and deformed, with scraped paint and exposed lighter-colored areas. The left front bumper corner has extensive abrasion, scraped paint, irregular deformation, gray paint transfer, and damaged or missing sections of the outer finish. Additional scuffing is visible on the adjacent lower bumper surface. The left front door and lower side skirt have multiple horizontal scuffs and localized dents. The left rear quarter panel is broadly creased and deformed around the wheel arch, with scraped paint and lighter-colored transfer marks. The left rear door has a pronounced horizontal crease, along with several dents and scuffs across its middle and lower sections. Further dark scuff marks are present on the left front door and lower rocker panel. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive BMW M5 Competition sedan manufactured by BMW M GmbH in Germany. It is equipped with a 4.4-liter turbocharged gasoline V8, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to the 2020 BMW M5. Two concern the rearview-camera system: one involved a potentially obscured portion of the rearview image, and another involved the camera display settings potentially retaining an unavailable rearview image. The third concerns the automatic-transmission wiring harness, which could become damaged and cause an electrical short circuit or loss of propulsion. The current completion status of these recalls is not provided and should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
