2014 BMW 320 SA

The vehicle is a 2014 BMW 320i sedan, VIN WBA3B1C52EK132660. NHTSA decoding identifies it as a gasoline-powered 2.0-liter four-cylinder model rated at 181 hp, manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. The available data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-FLOOD SALVAGE” with “WATER/FLOOD” as the primary damage classification. This is an auction claim, not an independently established finding. Stage 1 reports that the flood/water claim is not supported by the visible photos: the exterior lower doors, rocker areas, quarter panels, interior carpets, seats, door sills, dashboard, and engine bay show no visible horizontal tide line, waterline staining, mud or silt residue, mold, or obvious corrosion on visible wiring or seat hardware. The instrument cluster illuminates and displays normally, although multiple warning indicators are visible. A physical inspection and electronic diagnostic scan are recommended, particularly because the vehicle carries a flood-salvage designation and the photos alone cannot verify all mechanical or electrical conditions. Visible exterior damage includes cloudy and yellowed lenses on both front headlights, along with multiple fine surface scratches across the hood. The front-right bumper corner beneath the headlight has an open gap and separated edge, with exposed dark material and scuffing. Additional scuff marks and light abrasions are present on the front bumper cover. Several elongated scratches and scuffs affect the left rear quarter panel and adjacent rear bumper. The rear bumper and lower edge of the trunk lid also show multiple light scratches and scuff marks. Interior wear includes abrasion and a small split or worn-through area on the driver’s seat outer lower bolster. The front center armrest has a visible linear split or crease. Dark discoloration or staining is visible on both the front driver footwell carpet and the rear passenger-side floor carpet.
