The 2023 BMW XM might not have been the the standalone M-car we were all hoping for, but its colossal 6,094-lbs (2,764 kg) curb weight and controversial styling certainly helped it make a huge impact when it was announced in September 2022.

Perhaps not as huge an impact though as the one that landed the XM you see here in a salvage yard. It’s being auctioned by Copart whose website shows it has sustained damage on every side, and is missing its front and rear bumpers, driver’s side fender and even the offside rear wheel.

Still, unlike some of the wrecked vehicles we see pass through Copart’s hands, this one did at least manage to accrue four figures on the odometer display before retiring from road duties. The listing says it has done 2,266 miles (3,647 km), which should have been enough for the unlucky owner to decide whether they liked it enough to replace it with an identical model.

Though the XM looks in a bad way, it’s possible that much of what we see might be superficial damage. We know, for instance that the 644 hp (653 PS) 4.4-liter hybrid V8 engine still runs, that the some of the panels still look straight, and that the red leather interior with its widescreen iDrive dashboard display appears (mostly) undamaged. The front and rear crash bars appear to have retained their shape, too.

The big questions are whether the driver’s door is open because it can’t be closed, which would might indicate some damage to the body structure, and what kind of carnage lies underneath as a result of that missing 23-inch wheel. Just replacing that rim and the two-deck LED lights in the front would probably be expensive and that’s before you consider the bumpers, trim and paint that’ll be needed to get the BMW back on the road again. But since Copart estimates the pre-accident value as $157,194 (only slightly less than the $159,000 starting price for a zero-options XM), we don’t doubt that there’s enough profit in there to make it worthwhile for someone to resuscitate.
