2022 BMW X5 M50i

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper, grille, and both headlights are missing, and the front end is visibly disassembled. Substantial rear-end damage is also visible. At the front, the bumper fascia and outer trim are absent, exposing the radiator area and internal front-end components. Both headlamp assemblies and the front grille are missing, with their mounting areas and other internal components exposed. The front edge of the hood is visibly bent and uneven. The left rear outer taillight assembly is missing, exposing mounting brackets, wiring, and internal components. The surrounding left rear quarter panel has visible creasing, irregular edges, and exposed attachment points. The lower tailgate is severely dented, creased, and scuffed across its width. The rear bumper cover is crushed and heavily scuffed, with both outer corner sections missing or open and underlying components exposed. The instrument cluster reportedly displays a “Stop carefully: Lighting system” message and warning indicators. This is a significant lighting-system concern that should be diagnosed, particularly given the missing front headlamps and rear taillight. The visible findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, suspension, or drivetrain components; a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 BMW X5 M50i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 4.4-liter gasoline V8 producing 523 hp, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The VIN data indicates production in Greer, South Carolina, USA. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle configuration: campaign 22V267000, involving the sunroof function control unit. The control unit may allow the sunroof to close without the key fob being inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. BMW’s stated remedy is free reprogramming by an authorized dealer. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW before delivery.
