2021 BMW X5 M50i

This 2021 BMW X5 M50i is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage designation of “REAR END.” The supplied Stage 1 assessment reports that visible rear-end collision damage supports the unverified rear-end claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the rear. The tailgate is severely deformed, with pronounced buckling and deep creasing across the center and right side, including deformation around the right rear lamp area. The right corner and lower section of the rear bumper have a large irregular opening with broken edges and missing material. Internal components and the exhaust outlet are visible through this opening. A black lower bumper trim piece at the left rear corner is detached and hanging downward. Additional minor scuffing and scratches are visible across the lower rear bumper, particularly on the right side. The provided VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a BMW X5 sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 4.4-litre V8 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a stated 523 horsepower. It was manufactured in the United States and is configured as a five-seat, left-hand-drive vehicle. The supplied NHTSA data includes recall campaigns covering certain 2021 X5 M50i vehicles. These concern the rearview-camera system (21V096000), second-row outer-seat head restraints (21V156000), headlamp operation (20V528000), the integrated braking system (21V062000), the steering-column universal-joint connection (21V031000), certain Pirelli tires (20V483000), and sunroof control-unit programming (22V267000). Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The findings describe visible exterior damage only and do not establish the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, exhaust, lighting, camera, parking-assistance, or safety-system components. A comprehensive physical inspection and post-repair diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase.
