2013 BMW X5 xDrive35i

The vehicle is listed at auction with a public salvage title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because dents and scuffing are present on the side doors. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage consists of a broad, shallow depression with light linear scuffing along the lower portion of the rear door, assessed as moderate. The front door has a separate shallow crease or depression with light surface marking near its lower-rear area, assessed as minor. No other findings are provided. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the doors, their internal structure, hinges, locks, window mechanisms, paintwork, and alignment, as well as to identify any damage not visible in the available findings.
