2012 BMW X6 xDrive50i

The auction record lists the primary damage as “Front End.” The Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim: the hood is severely dented and creased, the front grille inserts are missing, and the left-front headlamp area is visibly damaged. The hood has multiple large, sharply creased depressions and substantial deformation across the center and left-front area. Both kidney-grille inserts are absent, leaving the radiator and internal components exposed through the openings. The left headlamp lens and surrounding outer edge have an irregular broken or cracked appearance, including an opening at the outer portion. The extent of any damage behind these areas, including to the cooling system, front structure, wiring, or safety systems, cannot be determined from the provided findings. Inside the vehicle, the black front passenger seat cushion and seatback have multiple large tears with the light-colored underlying material exposed. The rear seat cushion and center armrest area also have multiple tears and open seams, with underlying material visible. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2012 BMW X6 xDrive50i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 4.4-liter gasoline V8 engine. It was manufactured by BMW North America in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The supplied NHTSA recall records include several campaigns relevant to the 2012 X6 xDrive50i.

Recall applicability and completion should be verified by the VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase. A physical inspection and diagnostic evaluation are recommended, particularly for hidden front-end, restraint-system, cooling-system, and drivetrain damage.
