2021 BMW 228I GRAN COUPE SDRIVE

The auction lists the vehicle’s primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification. The 2021 BMW 228i Gran Coupe has severe damage concentrated across the front end. The hood is extensively creased, buckled, and deformed across the front and center sections, with large uneven gaps along the leading edge. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and partially missing; its lower sections are separated and hanging, exposing underlying components. The grille surround and adjacent fascia are cracked and deformed, with separated sections and irregular panel gaps. Both front headlamp areas have broken or missing outer sections, exposed internal components, and damaged surrounding trim. Additional front-corner and front-center damage includes broken and separated bumper and fascia pieces, absent or damaged headlamp-area components, exposed internal areas, and hanging trim. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel. Side-curtain airbags are also visibly deployed along the left roof and window area, including the rear side-window and roof area. The available findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, drivetrain, sensors, or other components behind the damaged exterior. Airbag-system repairs and related restraint-system inspections will be required.
