2023 BMW X4 M40i

This 2023 BMW X4 is listed with a **MV-907A salvage certificate**, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is **SIDE**. Based on the Stage 1 photo assessment, the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because extensive damage and missing exterior components are present along the left side. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most severe visible damage is to the left front door, where most of the outer door panel is missing. The inner door structure, wiring, and internal components are exposed. The left rear door has broad deformation across its middle and lower sections, together with surface scuffing. Exterior trim is also missing from the left lower rocker area and the left rear wheel arch, leaving mounting holes and fasteners visible. Several detached exterior pieces, including wheel-arch-shaped sections and a long rocker-style piece, are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. The supplied findings document exterior collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of the door mechanisms, wiring, airbags, rocker structure, suspension, wheel alignment, drivetrain, or other mechanical and safety systems. A thorough inspection will be required before repair or road use, including checks for hidden structural damage and proper restoration of exposed components. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a BMW X4 M40i multipurpose passenger vehicle with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 382 hp. It was manufactured by BMW North America in Greer, South Carolina. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rear-visibility system, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The supplied recall records include NHTSA campaign 23V821000 concerning possible transmission-control-unit oil leakage; the listed X4 applications specify the X4 xDrive30i, so applicability to this M40i should be verified by VIN. Campaigns 26V056000 and 26V438000 concern potential engine-starter overheating and include certain 2021–2023 or 2021–2025 BMW X4 vehicles, respectively. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed directly with BMW or NHTSA using the vehicle’s VIN.
