2013 BMW 128I

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, citing extensive damage to the hood, bumper and grille area, front fender, headlamp area, cooling stack, and exposed front-end components. The 2013 BMW 128i is identified by the VIN data as a two-door coupe manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine. The drivetrain and transmission details were not provided. The front end has sustained severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed and buckled, with deep creases, folded metal, scraped paint, uneven contours, and large gaps along the hood-to-fender edges. The front bumper cover, grille, and much of the front fascia are missing or detached, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling assembly, wiring, brackets, and other internal components. The reinforcement and surrounding mounts appear displaced, broken, or separated. One headlamp assembly is missing. The opposite front corner has open gaps and displaced trim and mounting pieces. The front fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening, with additional deformation above and behind the front wheel. The radiator and condenser cooling stack has visibly bent and distorted fins across the lower and central sections. Multiple plastic front-end components and mounting pieces are broken, detached, or hanging below the cooling stack. ABS, brake, traction-control, restraint, and service-engine warning indicators are illuminated in the instrument cluster. The available findings do not establish the cause of these warnings or confirm a specific failed component. A complete mechanical, electrical, cooling-system, restraint-system, and structural inspection is recommended before purchase or repair.
