2021 BMW X5 xDrive45e

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE” with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible side-panel dents and missing wheel-arch trim support the SIDE damage code; however, the CERT OF TITLE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible damage is concentrated along both side doors and the wheel-arch areas. The rear door has a large inward dent with pronounced creasing and uneven surface contours extending across the central and lower sections. Similar broad deformation and creasing are visible in the front and rear door areas. The adjacent lower side panel also shows inward deformation. Sections of the black plastic wheel-arch molding are missing or detached at both the front and rear wheel openings. Exposed fasteners and mounting points are visible where the trim is absent. The findings do not provide information about the condition of the door operation, hinges, locks, glass, inner door structures, suspension, wheel alignment, or other mechanical and safety systems. A physical inspection is recommended to assess for concealed structural or component damage and to determine the required repairs. The VIN decodes as a 2021 BMW X5 xDrive45e, a left-hand-drive SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.997-liter six-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is listed as having been manufactured in the United States. The supplied NHTSA recall records include several campaigns that list the 2021 X5 xDrive45e. These concern the rearview camera software, second-row outer-seat head restraints, headlamp operation, the integrated brake system, the steering-column universal-joint connection, the front axle support/control-arm bracket, the hybrid traction battery, and the sunroof control unit. The hybrid-battery recalls address potential short-circuit and fire risks, and one campaign instructed owners not to charge affected vehicles until the remedy was completed. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
