2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i

The vehicle is listed at auction with a Certificate of Salvage and a stated damage classification of “SIDE.” The photo-based assessment supports the unverified SIDE primary-damage code, but the photos cannot confirm the stated “less than 75% damage” salvage threshold. The visible damage is concentrated along the driver’s side. The driver-side front edge of the hood has pronounced creases and an uneven raised contour. The front fender is severely deformed, with portions of the inner wheel-arch area and underlying components exposed. The driver-side front door has extensive deep dents, sharp creases, and irregular deformation. The exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area exposed. The driver-side rear door has multiple dents and creases. The rear quarter panel is broadly rippled and creased around the rear door edge and wheel arch. The lower rocker panel and sill area beneath the driver-side doors is visibly irregular and deformed, with panel and trim edges exposed. The available findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical, structural, electrical, restraint, or chassis systems. A detailed physical inspection is recommended before purchase or repair planning. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i 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. NHTSA recall campaign 22V267000 applies to certain 2022 BMW X5 xDrive40i vehicles. The sunroof control unit may be programmed incorrectly, potentially allowing the sunroof to close without the key fob being inside the vehicle. BMW’s stated remedy is reprogramming the roof function control unit free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW before operation.
