2016 BMW 328 SA

The auction record lists the vehicle’s primary damage as “SIDE” and identifies the condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left side supports the auction’s unverified “SIDE” damage code. However, the certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The left front door has severe, broad denting and creasing across the middle and lower sections, along with extensive dark paint transfer and scraped paint. The left rear door also has multiple broad dents and creases, with substantial paint transfer and scraping concentrated across the middle and lower areas. The left rocker panel below the doors has multiple dark scrape marks and visibly abraded paint. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and has front and side occupant protection equipment identified in the decode, including front, knee, side, and curtain airbags and front-seat belt pretensioners. The VIN decode does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. Physical inspection is recommended to assess possible damage beneath the visible body panels, rocker area, doors, and related structural or safety components.
