2018 BMW X4 XDRIVE28I

The vehicle is a 2018 BMW X4 xDrive28i, listed with an auction primary-damage classification of “Flood.” This is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that the claim is not supported by visible evidence: the available exterior, interior, and dashboard photos reportedly show no visible tide line, water staining, silt, mold, or corrosion. The instrument cluster illuminates and displays normally, although drivetrain and check-engine warnings are visible. These warning messages require diagnostic investigation. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and seating for five. The vehicle was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. An NHTSA safety recall, campaign 24V608000, applies to 2015–2018 BMW X4 xDrive28i vehicles. The recall concerns a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit if exposed to water, increasing the risk of fire. BMW’s remedy is to inspect and replace the water pump and connector as necessary and install a protective shield. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. No additional damage findings or known failure-pattern flags were provided. A full pre-purchase inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended, with particular attention to the drivetrain and check-engine warnings, the cooling system, electrical components, and any possible effects of prior water exposure.
