2018 BMW X1 SDRIVE28I

This 2018 BMW X1 is listed by the auction as a salvage vehicle with “Undercarriage” as the primary damage classification. According to the provided Stage 1 assessment, the undercarriage classification cannot be confirmed or excluded from the photos and requires a physical inspection. The visible evidence does show a hanging and damaged underbody panel. The front bumper is missing the black lower trim or insert on the left side, leaving an open recess; this is assessed as minor damage. More significantly, a large underbody panel in the front/center and center undercarriage areas is displaced and hanging below the vehicle, with torn or broken-looking edges. This is assessed as severe damage. The condition of components behind the panel, including the underbody structure, suspension, steering, cooling system, and driveline, cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked before purchase. The vehicle should not be driven until the hanging panel and any related damage have been inspected and repaired. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a BMW X1 sDrive28i Sport Utility Vehicle with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. It was manufactured by BMW AG in the Netherlands. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to 2018 BMW X1 sDrive28i models: a crankshaft sensor firmware issue that may cause stalling, a steering tie-rod assembly issue that may lead to tie-rod failure, taillight attachment hardware that may allow a taillight to loosen or detach, and B-pillar trim that may provide insufficient occupant protection in certain crashes. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
