2015 BMW X5 xDrive35i

The auction record lists this 2015 BMW X5 as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because of the extensive deformation on the left-side doors and the missing left rear wheel-arch trim. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The left rear door has severe damage, with deep dents, sharp creases, and extensive irregular deformation across the outer skin. The left front door also has multiple pronounced dents and creases through its lower and middle sections. The black plastic trim on the left rear wheel arch is missing from the vehicle; a separate molding is shown off the vehicle with visible mounting holes and an irregular, broken-looking end. Dark scuff marks are also visible on the lower left area of the front bumper near the fog-lamp opening. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 BMW X5 xDrive35i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an indicated 300 horsepower. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list several recalls for certain 2015 BMW X5 vehicles, including recalls involving the driver frontal air-bag inflator, the head-protection air-bag system, and, for vehicles equipped with the optional rear comfort seat, the left rear seat-belt attachment. The listed diesel-engine recalls do not correspond to the decoded gasoline powertrain. Recall applicability and completion should be verified using the vehicle identification number with BMW or an authorized dealer. The visible damage assessment does not establish the condition of the mechanical, structural, restraint, electrical, or safety systems, so a comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase.
