2018 BMW X5 XDRIVE35I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports damage in the left rear bumper area, but the exterior photos cannot confirm that the left-rear damage is the sole or primary damage category. The left rear bumper corner has moderate collision damage. The bumper cover is deformed, crushed, and displaced, with an irregular shape, open gaps, surface scuffing, and separation from the adjacent body panel below the left tail lamp. Dark internal material and attachment hardware are visible through the openings. The bumper edge and the lower left rear bumper/quarter area should be inspected further to check the mounting points and any damage behind the cover. The VIN decodes as a 2018 BMW X5 xDrive35i Sport Utility Vehicle, manufactured in the United States. It has all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA records identify two recalls relevant to 2018 BMW X5 vehicles of this configuration. Campaign 18V439000 concerns a potentially improperly hardened pivot bolt in the front lower-left control arm, which could allow the control arm to break. Campaign 17V727000 concerns front suspension bolts that may not have been properly tightened. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
