2021 BMW X1 sDrive28i

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a salvage title with flood damage, with “WATER/FLOOD” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo review found that the visible evidence does not support this unverified claim: the exterior views of the lower doors, rocker panels, and lower quarter panels, along with the interior and dashboard photos, showed no clear tide line, water staining, silt, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion. The instrument cluster was illuminated and displayed normally without widespread malfunction indicators, although several individual warning icons were visible. The documented exterior damage is limited to several light, linear surface scuff marks on the lower left corner of the rear bumper cover. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2021 BMW X1 sDrive28i, a front-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. One NHTSA safety recall was identified for this model and year: campaign 21V554000, concerning the passenger-seat-belt automatic locking retractor, which may deactivate before the webbing fully retracts. BMW’s stated remedy is inspection of the seat-belt retractors and replacement if necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the vehicle identification number.
