2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i

The vehicle is listed by the auction as **FLOOD – SALVAGE**, with **WATER/FLOOD** recorded as the primary damage. However, Stage 1’s photo review found no clear horizontal tide line, waterline staining, silt residue, mold-like discoloration, visible corrosion on seat hardware or wiring, or other direct flood indicators. Stage 1 also reported that the instrument cluster was illuminated and displaying normally, with the odometer and vehicle information visible. Based on that review, the stated flood claim was not supported by the visible evidence. A physical inspection is still recommended to assess areas that may not be visible in the supplied photographs. The documented damage is minor and cosmetic. Light-colored discoloration and irregular surface marks are visible on both the left and right seating areas of the rear seat cushion. The driver’s seat has visible surface scuffing and abrasion on the outer lower bolster. No other damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i SUV, built in the United States. It is specified with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The supplied recall records include campaign 17V189000 for the passenger frontal air-bag inflator, which applies to certain 2017 BMW X5 xDrive35i vehicles. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The other listed campaigns concern diesel X5 xDrive35d, X5 xDrive40e, X5 M/X6 M, or other BMW models and do not correspond to the decoded gasoline xDrive35i specification.
