2016 BMW X5 xDrive40e

This 2016 BMW X5 is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and a FRONT END primary-damage designation. The reported front-end classification is consistent with the visible damage described below; however, the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main damage is concentrated at the front. The left front corner of the bumper has light black scuffing. The left kidney grille has broken sections around its outer surround and lower-left area, leaving an irregular open gap. The upper center of the front bumper cover has a large opening with cracked, uneven edges and scrape marks across the surrounding surface. A black plastic component is also hanging beside the right kidney grille. These areas should be inspected for damage to mounting points, reinforcement components, sensors, lighting, cooling-system components, and other parts behind the bumper before purchase. Additional cosmetic damage includes light horizontal scuffing across the lower center of the rear bumper. Inside the vehicle, the driver’s seat has surface abrasion and pronounced creasing on the outer lower bolster. The VIN decodes as a BMW X5 xDrive40e, a four-door all-wheel-drive SUV and plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a reported 308 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The supplied decode identifies the primary fuel type as electric and the secondary fuel type as gasoline. NHTSA recall records include campaign 16V919000 for certain 2016 X5 xDrive40e vehicles manufactured from July 29, 2015, through September 9, 2015. The recall concerns a possible loose ground cable that could cause the transmission to shift into neutral. Campaign 24V608000 also covers 2016 X5 xDrive40e vehicles and concerns a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit when exposed to water, increasing the risk of fire. Recall completion and applicability should be verified with BMW using the VIN. Other listed campaigns concern diesel BMW variants and do not correspond to the decoded xDrive40e powertrain.
