2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i

The auction record lists a salvage title and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible rear-end body damage supports the “REAR END” classification, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The vehicle has severe damage across the rear structure and exterior panels. Both rear quarter panels and rear corners are heavily creased and deformed. The rear bumper cover is crushed and extensively torn or displaced, with open gaps and damaged lower sections. The tailgate has multiple large dents, deep creases, distorted panel surfaces, and irregular gaps around the upper tailgate/spoiler area. The rear bodywork surrounding the tailgate and lamp assemblies is buckled, and both rear lamp areas have distorted edges and open sections. The visible damage should be assessed by a qualified repair facility for possible effects on the tailgate opening, rear body structure, lamp mounting points, sensors, wiring, and alignment. Mechanical and safety-system operation cannot be determined from these findings. Inside, the black leather on the front driver’s seat has moderate wear, including abrasion, creasing, discoloration, and surface peeling on the outer bolster and front edge of the cushion. The steering-wheel rim also has minor smoothing and surface wear. A restraint-system warning message and illuminated restraint-related indicators are reported on the instrument cluster. This is a significant safety concern requiring diagnostic inspection before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The decoded vehicle information indicates driver and front-passenger airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, and front-seat-belt pretensioners. A 2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i is included in NHTSA recall 17V189000 concerning the passenger frontal air-bag inflator; completion of this recall should be confirmed with BMW using the VIN. The VIN decodes as a 2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and five-seat configuration. It was manufactured in the United States. Other listed recalls apply to different configurations, including diesel-powered X5 xDrive35d and X5 xDrive40e models, or X5 M vehicles, and may not apply to this gasoline xDrive35i. Recall completion and any additional VIN-specific campaigns should be verified with BMW.
