2016 BMW 320 SA

This 2016 BMW 320i sedan is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” The visible missing rear bumper cover, exposed bumper structure, loose wiring, and deformed trunk lid support the unverified rear-end damage classification. The Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is absent from the vehicle, exposing the reinforcement bar, internal bumper components, mounting points, and wiring. Multiple wires are hanging loose in the rear bumper area. The trunk lid has significant denting, creasing, and deformation across the left, center, and right rear sections, including the rear edge. The detached bumper cover is present separately and has horizontal scratches, scuffing, and abrasions on its outer surface and center trim. Additional exterior damage includes light vertical scratches and scuff marks on the left rear door and adjacent quarter panel. A small cracked and broken section is also visible in the painted front bumper trim below and to the left of the kidney grille. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a BMW 320i, model year 2016, with a four-cylinder 2.0-liter gasoline engine rated at 181 horsepower. It is a four-door sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Rosslyn, South Africa. The VIN decode also lists front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, along with front-seat belt pretensioners and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Drive type and transmission details were not provided in the decode. The visible damage indicates that repair will require replacement or repair of the rear bumper assembly, inspection and securing or replacement of the exposed wiring, assessment of the rear reinforcement and mounting points, and repair or replacement of the deformed trunk lid. The rear body structure, lighting, parking sensors, exhaust area, safety systems, and electrical functions should be physically inspected before purchase.
