2013 BMW 328

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. The visible missing and damaged front-end components support the FRONT END damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front end has sustained severe collision damage. The hood is extensively buckled, creased, and folded across the front edge and both front-side areas. It has a large, irregular opening with missing hood material, exposing components underneath. The complete front bumper cover, kidney-grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The front-left and front-right corners have exposed wiring, brackets, mounting areas, radiator and cooling-system components, and other internal front-end parts. A detached bumper assembly with grille and trim pieces is also shown separately. These components are visibly broken, separated, and distorted. Replacement of the missing exterior parts and a detailed inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, mounting points, lighting systems, and safety systems will be required. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, chassis structure, or airbags. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 328i 3-Series sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data lists approximately 240 horsepower. The VIN decodes cleanly with a valid check digit. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle application concerning the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator. Excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments toward occupants. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW before purchase or road use.
