2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front-end components support the unverified “FRONT END” damage code; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper assembly is detached, with broken and separated plastic sections, fractured mounting areas, and damaged grille components. The front bumper cover and fascia, both headlamp assemblies, the central kidney grille, and the lower front air intake are missing. This leaves the cooling components, intercooler, mounting hardware, internal front-area components, and wiring exposed. The hood has an inward crease and irregular deformation along its leading edge and around the center emblem area. The front fender edges near both wheel arches have exposed mounting points and incomplete fascia coverage. The left rear door has a broad inward deformation below and forward of the handle. A similar dent is present around the handle and middle-lower section of the right rear door. Minor paint scratches are visible on the hood and adjacent front body panels. Light scuffing and paint-transfer-like marks are also present on the rear tailgate and rear bumper area, below the left rear lamp and around the rear license-plate area. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded engine output is listed as 335 horsepower, and the vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA recall campaign 22V267000 applies to certain 2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i vehicles.
