2013 BMW X6 xDrive50i

The 2013 BMW X6 xDrive50i (VIN 5UXFG8C50DL592286) is listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated “FRONT END” code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe damage. The front bumper cover is extensively cracked, scraped, and separated, with the lower center section absent or detached. Bumper and lower-front trim components are hanging away from the vehicle, and internal components are exposed. The lower grille and additional upper and lower fascia trim are missing or detached, leaving the radiator and other front-end components directly visible. The front section of the hood is dented and creased, with uneven gaps along its leading edge. The left front headlamp housing is broken and open, with lens or housing material missing and internal components exposed. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. Lower trim in the driver-side footwell and kick-panel area is broken or missing, with separated material exposed. The extent of damage means that the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting system, wiring, steering, suspension, drivetrain, and other safety systems requires a thorough physical inspection. The deployed restraint system will also require proper diagnostic assessment and replacement of affected components before the vehicle can be considered safe to operate. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffing and dirt-like discoloration on the visible rear-side quarter and lower side panels, light scuffing and paint marks on the rear bumper corner and lower tailgate area, and multiple light white scuffs on the rear seat cushion. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 4.4-liter, eight-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 400 horsepower. It was manufactured in the United States and identified as the xDrive50i trim. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to this model and year, including passenger-frontal airbag inflator recalls 19V017000 and 18V030000, a driver-frontal airbag inflator recall 20V017000, a front driveshaft universal-joint recall 17V138000, and a steering-gear recall 12V267000. Recall completion status for this specific vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. In view of the deployed driver airbag and the applicable airbag recalls, the restraint system should receive particular attention before purchase or operation.
