Risky
41/100
The photo shows a 2021 BMW 540xi with the front bumper cover torn off/missing on the viewer-left front corner, plus visible left-side door damage; gallery evidence also shows a dented trunk lid and a deployed driver airbag with restraint warnings. It is listed as runs and drives with a clean title, but the mileage is fairly high for the year and the SRS issue materially raises repair risk. Auction history is negative here: four recent Copart attempts all failed to sell at $19.8k-$21.9k, and the current seller is a non-insurance company, which increases repair-flip and hidden-damage risk. At a $23,000 buy-now, it is well above a sensible salvage buy level for this condition and history.

AI Analysis
Damage visible
The primary photo shows the front bumper cover missing/torn away on the viewer-left front corner, with lower trim and bracket pieces hanging down; the left headlight and hood look mostly aligned, and there is also a visible dent/crease along the left-side doors. From this angle the wheel, glass, and roofline look generally straight, but the missing bumper leaves possible hidden mounting or sensor damage not visible here.
Overall condition
From this photo the car sits level and appears complete aside from the damaged front bumper area, with the left front wheel inflated and no obvious major structural misalignment visible from this angle.
Repair recommendations
Plan on a full front bumper assembly rebuild, left-side bodywork, trunk-lid repair, and confirmed SRS restoration before pricing the car. Because it is a non-insurance seller with repeated no-sale history, inspect carefully for cosmetic-only prior repairs, hidden front support damage, and any unresolved airbag faults.

Per-photo analysis (12 photos)
Photo 1
Front-left three-quarter view shows the front bumper cover missing/torn off on the left in this photo, with the lower grille/trim and bracket pieces hanging; the left headlight and hood look largely intact, and the left front fender has a small crease above the wheel arch. Likely needs front bumper cover assembly, lower grilles/trim, brackets and liner repair, plus fender repair/refinish; visible repair range about $1,200-$2,600, with possible hidden sensor/support damage not fully visible from this angle.
Photo 2
Left side and rear-left view shows a noticeable dent/crease centered on the left rear door with lighter waviness into the left front door, while the rear quarter and rear bumper look mostly straight from this angle. Likely paintless repair or conventional bodywork on the doors with refinish if needed, roughly $400-$1,200 visible here.
Photo 3
Right side and rear-right view shows the body panels, rear bumper, glass, and wheel appearing straight with no obvious damage visible from this angle.
Photo 4
Front-right three-quarter view confirms front-end damage concentrated on the left in this photo: bumper cover and lower front trim are missing/broken, and the right side of the bumper edge is also displaced, while the right headlight, hood, and wheel appear intact. Visible work is mainly bumper assembly replacement with brackets/trim and possible right-side mounting repair, plus minor fender edge correction, about $1,300-$2,700.
Photo 5
Head-on front view shows the entire front bumper cover removed or torn away, exposing the reinforcement/absorber area and lower cooling opening; both headlights and the hood appear aligned, but the lower support, trim, and sensor mounts may have hidden damage. Expect bumper cover assembly, grilles, lower trim, brackets, undertray pieces, and possible absorber/support repair or replacement, with visible front-end repair roughly $1,800-$3,800.
Photo 6
Rear view shows a dented trunk lid around the license plate recess and a torn/dislodged trim piece or cover hanging on the right side of the lower rear bumper in this photo; taillights look intact. Likely trunk lid repair/refinish or replacement plus minor rear bumper trim repair, about $500-$1,400 visible here.
Photo 7
Front interior view shows the driver airbag deployed/missing from the steering wheel, while the seat, dash, and visible trim look otherwise intact from this angle. Steering-wheel airbag replacement and likely SRS reset/diagnostics would typically run about $350-$900 using used/salvage parts.
Photo 8
Cabin overview shows the driver airbag deployed/missing from the steering wheel; the passenger dash appears closed and the seats/console show no obvious visible damage. Visible SRS repair here is mainly the steering-wheel airbag plus module reset/coding risk, about $350-$900.
Photo 9
Instrument cluster shows warning lights including a passenger restraint system message, consistent with airbag/SRS faults, but no physical panel damage is visible in this close-up. Diagnostic scan, fault clearing, and likely SRS module/occupant system work after airbag repair could add roughly $100-$500.
Photo 10
Rear seat area appears clean with no obvious interior damage visible from this angle.
Photo 11
Engine bay view shows the upper engine compartment looking complete with no obvious fluid leaks or major visible structural distortion from this angle, though the missing front bumper leaves possible hidden lower support damage outside the frame.
Photo 12
VIN label/door-jamb close-up only; no repairable damage is visible in this photo.
