2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” condition and lists “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear bumper and lower tailgate damage supports the stated REAR END code; however, the exterior photographs do not support or independently confirm the stated “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” claim. The main damage is concentrated at the rear. The left rear bumper corner is torn and partially detached, with an open gap and underlying components visible. Across the lower rear, the bumper cover is pulled away from the body, with a wide opening, a distorted upper edge, and separation from adjacent panels. The lower tailgate has a broad horizontal crease and irregular deformation above the bumper, with white and light-colored scrape marks along the lower tailgate edge and bumper area. The condition of components behind the damaged exterior, as well as the vehicle’s structural and mechanical condition, is not established by these findings. The image-left front headlamp lens appears cloudy and yellowed compared with the opposite lamp, representing a minor cosmetic concern. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The vehicle is listed in two NHTSA safety recalls: campaign 20V017000 concerning the driver frontal air-bag inflator, and campaign 24V608000 concerning the engine cooling water-pump electrical connector, which may short circuit and increase fire risk. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
