2018 BMW 320 SA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” status, with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage code, with extensive deformation and breakage at the hood, front bumper, grille, and front corner areas. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely deformed, with multiple deep creases and broad downward and lateral deformation across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover is severely displaced and fractured, with separated edges, broken lower openings, and components exposed behind the fascia. The BMW kidney grille is moderately distorted and displaced, with uneven surrounding trim and an opening between the grille sections. The front left corner is severely crushed around the headlamp and fender edge, with irregular panel edges, open gaps, and exposed internal components. On the front right, the bumper and adjacent fender area are moderately displaced, with the front edge separated and lifted from the surrounding bodywork. The upper front panel below the hood opening also has pronounced creasing and a deformed edge around the BMW emblem. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. Additional restraint-system inspection and replacement may therefore be required, although the supplied findings do not confirm the condition of other airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, structural components, cooling systems, suspension, steering, or mechanical systems. A complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase and repair. VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW 320i sedan with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is listed as manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa.
