2011 BMW 328 SA

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “TOP/ROOF” as the primary damage classification. This is an auction designation and is not independently verified. Stage 1 reported that the photos do not independently verify the salvage-title status and that the visible evidence does not clearly support TOP/ROOF as the primary damage: the roof panel is present without unambiguous visible deformation, while the rear windshield is missing and shattered. The rear windshield glazing is completely absent. Jagged glass remnants remain around the opening, with additional fragments visible inside the cabin. Replacement of the rear glass and thorough removal of broken glass will be required. Light-colored scuffs and small surface scratches are also present on the rear bumper cover. The instrument cluster visibly displays BRAKE, stability-control, and 4x4 warning indications. These are qualitative concerns requiring diagnostic evaluation; the underlying cause cannot be determined from the available findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2011 BMW 328i four-door sedan with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine, rated at 230 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. An NHTSA safety recall is listed for the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator under campaign 16V071000. The inflator may rupture during deployment and discharge metal fragments. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
