2026 BMW X5 PHEV XDRIVE50E

The auction lists the primary damage as **Right Side**. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the right-rear quarter panel and right rear corner show visible deformation along with multiple missing exterior components. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the rear. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement and internal bumper components. The right rear tail lamp assembly is also absent, and the surrounding quarter-panel metal and painted surfaces are visibly pushed inward, creased, and irregular around the lamp opening. The right rear bumper corner and adjacent trim are missing, leaving mounting brackets and internal components exposed. The right rear wheel-arch molding is absent as well. The lower rocker or side-skirt trim is missing along the visible side of the vehicle, exposing mounting fasteners and attachment points. Detached rear bumper sections, trim pieces, and lamp assemblies are shown separately from the vehicle. One detached bumper section has light scuffing and abrasion marks. The instrument display shows a wrench symbol and the message **“Drive Fault.”** This warning is a concern requiring diagnostic testing; the available photographs do not establish its underlying cause or the vehicle’s mechanical condition. The visible damage also warrants inspection of the rear body structure, mounting points, wiring, lighting systems, parking and driver-assistance sensors, and the high-voltage plug-in hybrid system before repair or operation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, and a stated output of 483 hp. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Recall status was not checked.
