2018 BMW X1 xDrive28i

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage title and a primary damage classification of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible denting and creasing on one side support the “SIDE” damage code. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photos alone. The main observed damage is on the left side. The left rear door has a broad, moderate concave deformation with horizontal and diagonal creasing across the lower and middle outer panel, along with light surface scuffing. A separate moderate concave dent with an irregular contour is present on the left rear quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel arch, extending from the rear-door area toward the wheel arch. The available findings do not describe any mechanical, structural, suspension, wheel, or alignment condition; these areas should be physically inspected before purchase. The brown leather on the front driver’s seat cushion also shows minor surface wrinkling and creasing. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW X1 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. NHTSA records list four safety recalls applicable to the 2018 BMW X1 xDrive28i: a crankshaft sensor firmware issue that may cause stalling, a steering tie-rod assembly issue that may result in loss of steering control, taillight attachment brackets that may crack, and inadequate impact absorption in the upper B-pillar trim. Recall repairs are reported as free of charge; the completion status for this specific vehicle should be confirmed by its VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
