2016 BMW 228 xDrive

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with substantial deformation on the side door, front fender, rocker area, and side mirror, along with additional damage at the front corner. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated on one front-side corner and the adjacent side structure. The front-side fender is extensively crushed, with deep creases, a distorted wheel-arch edge, and separated panel edges near the headlamp and door. The front bumper cover is displaced and separated from neighboring panels, with an open gap and broken or missing sections at the corner. The headlamp in this area has a broken or displaced outer lens, exposing dark internal components. The hood is moderately deformed and creased near the damaged corner, with an uneven edge above the fender. The front-side door has severe, broad horizontal and diagonal creases across the outer panel. The side mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and internal components exposed. Moderate dents and creases are also visible along the rocker panel beneath the door, and the surrounding front wheel-opening area has displaced material, distorted edges, and an irregular gap around the tire. Mechanical, suspension, steering, structural, restraint-system, and electrical condition cannot be determined from these findings and should be inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 BMW 228i xDrive coupe, built by BMW AG in Germany. It is specified with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and all-wheel drive.
