2016 BMW 320 SA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation, scraping, and missing components from the left exterior mirror support the SIDE damage classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle is a 2016 BMW 320i sedan, VIN WBA8E1G5XGNU11573, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 181 horsepower. The VIN decodes to a BMW AG vehicle manufactured in Rosslyn, South Africa. The most significant damage is concentrated along the left side. The left rear door has deep creasing, multiple dents, and pronounced deformation. The adjacent left rear quarter panel is also severely dented and creased around and above the wheel arch, with scraped paint and transferred material. Scratches, scuffs, linear paint damage, and surface creasing extend across the left front and rear doors and the lower left side body. The left exterior mirror is moderately damaged, with the outer cover and mirror glass missing and internal components exposed. The left rear bumper corner has multiple dark scuff marks and scraped paint. In addition, the right lower rear bumper cover has a severe opening with missing material, a torn edge, and a loose projecting section. Broad abrasions are also visible across the lower rear bumper. The hood has several small areas of chipped or missing paint. The findings indicate substantial body and bumper repair requirements, particularly along the left rear door and quarter panel, together with replacement or repair of the left exterior mirror and repair or replacement of damaged bumper sections. The condition of the underlying structure, wheel-arch area, suspension, lighting, safety systems, and mechanical components is not established by these exterior findings and should be checked through a physical inspection before purchase.
