2022 BMW 228I Gran Coupe

The vehicle is a 2022 BMW 228i Gran Coupe, VIN WBA53AK0XN7K36991. Factory data identifies it as a four-door front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and approximately 228 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. No specific damage findings were provided. The auction lists the primary damage as “MECHANICAL.” According to Stage 1, this claim cannot be confirmed from the available photos and requires a physical inspection; no clear mechanical failure or significant collision damage was visibly confirmed. The auction condition is listed as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.” Stage 1 notes that this is a title-condition statement, not a visible damage finding, and it could not be independently verified from the photos. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 22V513000 concerns a potentially cracking high-pressure fuel rail that could leak fuel in the engine compartment and increase the risk of fire; the stated remedy is replacement of the fuel rail. Recall 23V584000 concerns software that may fail to provide the required audible seat-belt warning; the stated remedy is a software update. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW using the VIN before purchase. A physical inspection and diagnostic scan are strongly recommended, particularly because of the auction’s mechanical-damage classification.
