2016 BMW 328 SA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo review found substantial salvage-level collision damage; however, it reported that the most significant visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner rather than along the side, so the “SIDE” classification is not supported by the visible evidence. The front-left bumper cover is severely crushed, torn, heavily deformed, and partially detached, with separated plastic sections hanging below the vehicle and internal components exposed. The front-left fender has multiple deep creases and crushed areas around the wheel opening and upper edge. The left front edge of the hood is creased and deformed, with an uneven raised gap above the damaged fender and headlamp area. The front-left headlamp assembly is damaged, with broken or missing lens and trim components leaving the lamp cavity exposed and incomplete. The front-left wheel-well liner and lower bumper trim are severely torn and hanging outward, with separated fragments visible near the ground. The dark-blue paintwork across the front-left fender and bumper area has extensive scraping and abrasion. A black lower trim piece is also protruding from the lower-right rear bumper, recorded as minor damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa. The available data does not confirm the condition of the mechanical, structural, lighting, restraint, or driver-assistance systems; these areas require a comprehensive physical inspection and testing before purchase.
