2018 BMW M5

The vehicle is listed with an MV-907A Salvage Certificate (P), with “FRONT END” recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim because the front bumper and lower fascia are missing and front-end components are exposed. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be verified from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover and lower front fascia are absent, exposing the front bumper beam, radiator area, mounting brackets, and other front-end components. The detached bumper cover is shown separately. This is classified as moderate collision damage. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag module is also missing; the open steering-wheel center exposes the hub and wiring. The condition of the remaining restraint-system components, wiring, sensors, structural members, cooling system, and mechanical systems requires physical inspection and diagnostic testing. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW M5 sedan manufactured by BMW M GmbH in Germany. It is equipped with a 4.4-liter gasoline V8 and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded information lists driver and passenger front, knee, side, and curtain airbags, as well as front-seat-belt pretensioners; the missing steering-wheel airbag should therefore be addressed as part of a complete restraint-system inspection and repair. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year: campaign 18V323000 concerns engine-control-unit software that may stop the fuel pump and cause stalling; campaign 18V473000 concerns a fuel-level sensor that may give an inaccurate reading and potentially lead to stalling; and campaign 19V684000 concerns backup-camera software that may allow the rear-view image to remain unavailable. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW, and any outstanding repairs should be completed by an authorized dealer.
