2013 BMW 328 SA

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the “SIDE” classification, with dents and scuffing on the left-side doors. The salvage title status itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated on the left front and left rear doors. The left front door has moderate deformation, including a pronounced crease in the center-to-lower area, multiple horizontal scrape marks, and localized paint damage. The left rear door has shallow-to-moderate deformation with extended horizontal scuffing and additional paint disruption. Light surface scuffing is also visible on the left side of the rear bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 328i four-door sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa. The VIN decode does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. One official NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle’s model and year range: recall 16V071000, concerning the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator module. Excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture during deployment. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator, free of charge. The recall repair status for this specific vehicle should be verified with BMW using the VIN before purchase.
