2016 BMW 328 SA

The auction records list a salvage certificate of title and identify the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports this primary-damage code; however, a salvage certificate of title cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood is heavily creased and deformed, while the front-left fender is deeply crushed and folded around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The front-left headlamp assembly is broken and largely absent, with exposed components. The front bumper is torn and displaced, with large separated or hanging sections, and portions of the lower front fascia and adjacent trim are missing or broken. Irregular, separated panel gaps are visible between the hood, fender, headlamp area, and bumper. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and side-curtain airbag fabric is hanging along the driver-side roof and window area. Multiple warning indicators are illuminated in the instrument cluster, including airbag, ABS, brake, traction-control, steering, and engine-related warnings. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, suspension, steering, braking, or mechanical components, which require a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment. VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2016 BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. It was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa.
