2017 BMW 3 SERIES 330I

The auction record lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that this claim is contradicted by the visible evidence: the clearly documented collision damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left front area, while the right side appears comparatively intact in the provided views. The vehicle is identified by VIN as a 2017 BMW 330i sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported output of 248 hp. It was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. The most significant damage is at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely creased and deformed around and behind the wheel arch, with uneven edges near the hood and front door. The adjoining front-corner area is also substantially deformed. The left front headlamp is severely damaged, with a cracked lens, broken or missing sections, and exposed internal components. The left side of the front bumper has a moderate opening and broken or missing lower grille material. The lower bumper trim and left lower bumper section are separated and displaced, with broken edges and an irregular opening. The left front portion of the hood is moderately deformed, with an uneven gap where it meets the fender and headlamp. A moderate dent and crease are also visible near the front edge of the left front door. The extent of the visible panel deformation and headlamp damage warrants a detailed inspection of the underlying mounting points, front-end structure, lighting systems, wheel-area components, wiring, and safety systems before purchase. Recall status was not checked.
