2021 BMW X5 xDrive45e

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” The photo-based Stage 1 assessment states that the visible front-end damage supports the unverified primary-damage claim, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The central kidney grille assembly is missing from the vehicle, exposing the grille opening and internal components. A detached grille assembly is also visible; its right-side frame is separated and broken, with displaced or missing sections. The hood has a clear irregular deformation and crease along the front edge above the right-side headlamp, as viewed from the front. Surface abrasion is visible around this area. The front bumper and lower fascia have severe damage on both corners, including multiple cracked and torn sections, displaced material, open gaps, loose components, and hanging pieces. The grille area, bumper edges, and adjacent trim show additional breaks, deformation, and displacement. Based on the supplied findings, the documented damage is concentrated at the front end. The condition of components behind the bumper and grille, including structural members, cooling systems, lighting, sensors, wiring, and driver-assistance equipment, is not established and should be checked during a physical inspection. The vehicle should not be operated until the loose and damaged components, safety systems, and overall roadworthiness have been professionally assessed. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 BMW X5 xDrive45e plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.997-liter six-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded data lists electric primary fuel with gasoline as the secondary fuel and identifies production in the United States. NHTSA recall records include several campaigns applicable to the 2021 X5 xDrive45e, including potential issues involving the rearview-camera system, second-row outer-seat head restraints, headlamp illumination, the integrated braking system, the steering-column connection, the front axle support, and the sunroof control unit. Two additional recalls concern the hybrid traction battery and possible short-circuit or fire risks. Recall completion should be verified directly with BMW using the VIN. In particular, confirm that all hybrid-battery campaigns have been addressed and follow any applicable BMW operating or charging instructions until their status is verified.
