2011 BMW 135

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage and lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated “FRONT END” classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle is a 2011 BMW 135i coupe. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 hp, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The decoded vehicle is equipped with front and side airbags for the first-row occupants, rear outboard curtain airbags, and front-seat-belt pretensioners; the current operating condition of these systems was not established by the provided findings. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper cover is severely crushed, cracked, torn, and partially separated, with large openings and missing or broken trim in the lower and side areas. The front-left corner is pulled away from the body, exposing dark components behind the fascia. The hood’s leading edge is buckled and uneven above the grille, with a pronounced raised gap. The left kidney-grille section has damaged or missing elements, and the front fascia has displaced sections and exposed gaps around the grille and headlamp areas. The leading edge of the front-left fender is also visibly creased and irregular near the headlamp and hood. The rear bumper cover and adjacent lower rear-quarter area have several light surface scuffs and marks. The steering-wheel rim shows minor wear and peeling of its dark outer grip material. These findings are based on visible damage descriptions only. They do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting, suspension, steering, airbags, sensors, engine, transmission, or other mechanical and electrical components. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional testing are recommended before purchase.
