2021 BMW X1 sDrive28i

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo review reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the front-end damage claim, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be verified from photos. The vehicle has extensive severe collision damage to the front end. The hood is heavily crumpled and raised, with deep folds across the leading and central sections. The front bumper cover is missing, and detached bumper, grille, trim, and other plastic components are visible on the ground in front of the vehicle. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving the headlamp areas open and exposing internal components. The visible front fender is severely deformed around the wheel opening, with torn and displaced edges and exposed inner components. The front wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are torn, displaced, and hanging near the wheel. The front grille, including the kidney-grille area, is broken and displaced, while lower front-fascia components are broken, detached, or missing. Wiring and other internal front-end parts are exposed. The front cooling-module area is also visibly damaged, including the fan shroud, surrounding plastic components, and lower support pieces. The steering-wheel airbag and the curtain airbags along the roof sides are visibly deployed. This indicates that the restraint system will require comprehensive inspection and likely repair or replacement of affected components. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling system, electrical systems, or structural members; these areas require a physical inspection and diagnostic testing. Minor cosmetic damage consists of multiple light scuffs and marks across the painted rear liftgate. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2021 BMW X1 sDrive28i, a front-wheel-drive SUV with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and seating for five. 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. The specified remedy is dealer inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the affected retractor at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer, particularly before the vehicle is returned to road use.
