2013 BMW 328

The auction record lists this 2013 BMW 328i as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE,” with “FRONT END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated primary-damage code, while noting that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, center grille, and lower front fascia/air-intake trim are missing. This leaves the front reinforcement, radiator and cooling components, mounting areas, and other internal structures exposed. The front fender on the visible side is also absent, exposing the wheel-well area, inner components, and unfinished mounting surfaces beside the headlamp. The exterior rocker-panel trim/side skirt is missing beneath the visible doors, with the mounting clips and underlying sill area exposed. Shallow dents are present in the lower-mid sections of the visible front and rear doors. The available findings document substantial missing exterior and front-end components, but they do not establish the condition of hidden structural, cooling, suspension, steering, electrical, or mechanical systems. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks for structural alignment, front-end mounting points, radiator and cooling-system damage, wheel-well components, airbag-system status, and the completeness and cost of replacement parts. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 328i four-door sedan, built by BMW AG in Germany, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. NHTSA recall campaign 16V071000 concerns the driver’s frontal airbag inflator, which may rupture during deployment. The repair was to replace the driver’s frontal airbag module or inflator free of charge; recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
