2021 BMW X1 XDRIVE28I

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having Salvage condition and “Left Side” primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified Left Side damage claim: severe deformation is visible on the left rear door, quarter panel, and lower side area. The photos show substantial collision damage consistent with a salvage condition, although title status cannot be established from photos alone. The left rear door outer panel has extensive deep crushing, sharp creases, and major deformation. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are also heavily distorted, with deep folds extending from the rear door area to the wheel arch. The rocker panel and lower side skirt beneath the left rear door are visibly deformed and separated from adjacent body panels. A side airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the roof-side area inside the damaged left side of the passenger compartment. The instrument cluster also displays a red airbag warning indicator. The vehicle should therefore receive a complete inspection and replacement of all required restraint-system components, including airbags, sensors, seat-belt pretensioners, and related modules, before being considered safe to operate. Additional inspection is required to determine whether the damage extends to the pillars, floor, suspension, wheel alignment, or other structural components; these areas cannot be confirmed from the supplied findings. The VIN decodes as a 2021 BMW X1 xDrive28i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and German manufacture. Factory data identifies front and side airbags and curtain airbags for the first and second rows, as well as seat-belt pretensioners. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle configuration: campaign 21V554000 concerns the passenger-seat-belt Automatic Locking Retractor, which may deactivate prematurely. BMW’s remedy is inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the affected retractor at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer.
