2016 BMW X5 sDrive35i

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear tailgate dent and bumper scraping support the stated rear-end damage code. The photos show localized rear exterior damage, but the salvage certificate status is not independently confirmed by the visible damage findings. The lower center of the rear tailgate has a broad horizontal dent and crease, with additional dark scuff marks. The rear bumper cover has multiple dark scrape and abrasion marks across the lower center and right side, including areas near the right exhaust outlet. The trim or opening adjacent to the right exhaust outlet appears irregular and partially missing compared with the opposite side. The tailgate and bumper damage are assessed as moderate, while the damaged bumper trim is assessed as minor. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW X5 sDrive35i SUV with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 hp. It was manufactured by BMW North America in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The supplied recall records include campaigns for diesel-powered X5 xDrive35d vehicles and for the plug-in X5 xDrive40e; these configurations do not match the decoded sDrive35i gasoline model. Recall applicability and completion should nevertheless be confirmed directly with BMW using the VIN. A physical inspection is recommended to check the tailgate structure, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, exhaust-area trim, parking sensors or other rear equipment, and the condition of the vehicle behind the visible exterior damage.
