2013 BMW 328

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified claim, with substantial damage visible around the front hood, passenger-side headlamp area, grille, bumper, and adjacent fender. The front-right section has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased and buckled, particularly near the front-right corner and leading edge, with raised sections, an uneven leading edge, and widened gaps above the front fascia. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and other internal components exposed. The surrounding fascia is broken and open, and the passenger-side kidney grille is damaged or displaced. The front bumper cover has cracking and broken plastic near the passenger-side lower fog-lamp opening. The passenger-side bumper corner also has an open damaged area with exposed components and detached or broken pieces. The adjacent front fender is moderately deformed, with an irregular contour and uneven panel gap next to the headlamp opening. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine; the VIN data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model range: campaign 16V071000, concerning the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator. The inflator may rupture during deployment and release metal fragments. BMW’s stated remedy was replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer. The documented findings are limited to visible exterior damage. A physical inspection is recommended to assess hidden structural, cooling-system, suspension, steering, electrical, air-bag, and other mechanical damage before purchase or repair.
