2013 BMW 320 I XDRIVE

The auction records list the vehicle with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and classify the primary damage as **SIDE**. Based on Stage 1’s photo review, the visible evidence supports the SIDE damage code: the left-side doors are extensively dented and deformed, and the left rocker trim is missing. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs. The 2013 BMW 320i xDrive is identified by VIN decoding as a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and approximately 180 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, along with front-seat-belt pretensioners. The main visible damage is concentrated along the left side. Both the left front and left rear doors have severe outer-panel deformation, including large dents, deep creases, crushed areas, and distortion concentrated in the lower portions of the doors. The left-side rocker trim is detached and lying separately from the vehicle, with visible bends and creases. It is also missing from the lower rocker area, exposing the mounting points and underlying sill area. Repair assessment should include replacement or repair of both left-side doors and the rocker trim, as well as inspection of the underlying rocker panel, sill structure, door frames, hinges, latches, wiring, glass, seals, and adjacent safety systems for damage. A physical inspection is required to determine whether the deformation extends beyond the visible exterior panels. Recall status was not checked and is therefore unknown.
