2018 BMW X5 XDRIVE35I

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with damage at the front-left bumper, lower bumper trim, fender, and adjacent hood edge. The front-left bumper corner has multiple white scuff marks, surface abrasion, and moderate deformation extending into the lower intake area. The lower bumper intake trim is broken and displaced, leaving an irregular open gap. The front-left fender above and behind the wheel arch is dented and has light-colored paint scuffing. Additional deformation and abrasion are visible along the front-left hood edge, fender, and bumper corner below the headlamp. The lower bumper opening also has separated-looking, damaged trim. The instrument cluster reportedly displays an **“Adaptive headlight malfunction”** message with a corresponding warning symbol. This indicates a potential adaptive-headlight system fault that should be diagnosed and repaired before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 BMW X5 xDrive35i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in the United States.
