2014 BMW 228

The vehicle is listed with a certificate of salvage title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is front-end damage. The auction damage classification is consistent with the visible findings: substantial damage is clearly present at the hood, front bumper, front corner, fender, and lamp area. The front corner has been heavily crushed, with torn and displaced body panels, exposed internal components, wiring, and a missing headlamp assembly. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and displaced, with missing sections and exposed parts. The hood is severely buckled and folded on the affected side, with deep creases and an uneven front edge. The front fender is also creased and deformed around the wheel arch and bumper junction, while the grille surround and adjacent trim are displaced and damaged. Additional side-body damage includes long gouges, scrape marks, scratches, and localized deformation across the visible front door, rocker area, lower front fender, and rear quarter area. The side character line has a visibly uneven crease. A detached black molded trim panel is also shown on the ground beside the vehicle. Minor scuffing and abrasion marks are present on the rear bumper. A light-colored section of the front passenger-side airbag is visibly protruding from the outer shoulder area of the seat, indicating airbag deployment or damage that will require inspection and replacement assessment. The extent of the front inner-area damage, including the crushed metal and exposed wiring, means that structural, cooling, lighting, restraint-system, mechanical, and electrical components should be professionally inspected before repair or road use. The photographs do not establish the vehicle’s running condition or the full extent of damage behind the visible panels. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2014 BMW 228i coupe, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission.
