2024 BMW 228I GRAN COUPE SDRIVE

The auction lists the primary damage as rear. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation: the rear bumper cover, both outer rear tail-lamp assemblies, and multiple rear trim components are missing, with deformation visible around the rear lamp mounting areas. The rear bumper cover is absent, exposing the reinforcement beam, internal components, and mounting points. Both outer tail lamps are missing, leaving empty openings and exposed mounting areas. The lower rear fascia, diffuser or trim pieces, and associated plastic components are also absent. Wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging below the rear body in the bumper and tail-lamp areas. Moderate sheet-metal deformation is visible around both rear tail-lamp openings and the adjacent trunk-side and rear-corner areas. Light surface scuffing is present on the rear quarter panel above and behind one rear wheel. The findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural components, sensors, internal wiring, or mechanical systems; these areas require physical inspection and testing.
