2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts this classification: the front exterior appears intact in the provided views, while significant rear-end and left-side damage is visible. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage certificate status cannot be independently verified from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is completely missing, exposing the reinforcement beam, mounting structures, wiring, exhaust area, and other internal bumper components. The outer tail-lamp units on both rear quarter panels are also missing; only the lamp sections mounted in the liftgate remain visible. The left rear quarter panel is dented and creased around the missing tail-lamp opening and above the wheel arch. The left rear door has multiple large, deep dents and creases, including deformation near the handle and lower section. The left front door has a broad dented and creased area across its middle and lower sections, with light-colored scuff and transfer marks on both left-side doors. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i SUV, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 228 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The VIN decode also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front and side airbags, and a standard rear-visibility system; the current condition and operation of these systems have not been established by the supplied findings. NHTSA recall campaign 18V465000 applies to certain 2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i vehicles. The recall concerns incorrect crankshaft-sensor firmware that may cause the engine to stall, increasing crash risk. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the crankshaft sensor at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the vehicle identification number. The visible damage is concentrated at the rear and along the left side and includes several missing exterior components and substantial panel deformation. A complete physical inspection should confirm the condition of the underlying structure, wiring, exhaust area, lighting system, restraints, and mechanical components before purchase or repair.
