2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i

The vehicle is a 2017 BMW X5 with a salvage certificate and an auction-listed primary damage classification of “SIDE.” The visible evidence supports the side-damage classification: the left rear door has a large, severely crushed area with multiple deep creases and sharply folded metal through the middle and lower sections. The adjacent left rear quarter panel, directly above the rear wheel opening, is also deformed, with a pronounced crease and an uneven surface. Light-colored scuff and transfer marks are present across the damaged door and the adjacent lower side bodywork. Additional minor cosmetic damage is visible on the lower left area and lower-left corner of the front bumper, consisting of superficial white scuffs and abrasions. The vehicle’s salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The findings also do not establish the condition of the frame, suspension, wheel alignment, door operation, airbags, electrical systems, or mechanical components. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks of the affected body structure, door and quarter-panel alignment, rear wheel area, safety systems, and underbody. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a BMW X5 xDrive35i, an all-wheel-drive SUV built in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The provided recall records include campaign 17V189000, concerning the passenger frontal air-bag inflator on certain 2017 BMW X5 models, including the X5 xDrive35i. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the VIN. Other listed recalls concern specific diesel or different X5 variants and may not apply to this gasoline xDrive35i.
