2018 BMW 320 SA

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and an auction classification of flood/water damage. However, Stage 1’s photo review found no visible horizontal tide line, water staining, silt or mud residue, mold-like discoloration, or corrosion consistent with flood exposure in the exterior, interior, engine bay, or illuminated dashboard images. Stage 1 therefore concluded that the visible evidence does not support the unverified flood-damage claims. No additional damage findings were provided. The instrument cluster appeared to function normally in the available images, although warning indicators and a hood-open message were visible. These items should be checked during a physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 BMW 320i 3-Series sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, daytime running lights, direct tire-pressure monitoring, rear visibility assistance, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, and driver and front-passenger knee airbags. Drive type and specific optional equipment were not identified in the supplied data. Despite the limited visible evidence of flood exposure, the salvage title and auction classification warrant a comprehensive inspection of the electrical system, wiring, control modules, engine bay, interior, underbody, and vehicle history before purchase.
