2021 BMW X1 sDrive28i

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the unverified FRONT END classification, while the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2021 BMW X1 has severe damage concentrated at the driver’s-side front corner. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing or broken away, exposing internal components. The driver’s-side headlamp assembly is absent, and the front fender is crushed and torn around the wheel arch, with inner wheel-well components exposed. The hood is deformed at its driver’s-side front edge, with an uneven gap to the damaged fascia. The driver’s-side front wheel is not installed on the vehicle. The removed tire has a large open tear through the upper sidewall and tread area, and the alloy wheel has substantial scraping and gouging along its outer edge and face. The visible damage should be followed by a thorough inspection of the suspension, steering, braking, wheel-well, structural, and related electrical components before purchase. The vehicle’s operating condition cannot be established from these findings. Inside, the driver airbag and driver’s-side curtain airbag are deployed. A restraint-system warning is displayed on the infotainment screen, and multiple instrument-cluster warning indicators are illuminated, including restraint-system, ABS, brake, tire-pressure, and check-engine warnings. Airbag, pretensioner, restraint-control-module, sensor, wiring, and related system repairs will be required, with diagnostic scanning and calibration recommended after repairs. Light surface scuffing is also visible on the rear bumper and adjacent lower tailgate area. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a BMW X1 sDrive28i, a gasoline-powered SUV with a 1.9976-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: recall 21V554000 concerns the passenger-seat-belt automatic locking retractor, which may deactivate before the webbing fully retracts. BMW’s stated remedy is dealer inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the affected retractor at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
