2013 BMW 328

This 2013 BMW 328i is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” According to the Stage 1 photo review, the visible photos do not support that unverified claim: the front bumper, hood, grille, and front body panels appear present without clearly visible impact deformation. The review does note minor front surface scuffs and cloudy headlight lenses. Visible exterior damage includes yellowed, cloudy lenses on both front headlight assemblies and light scuffing on the center and lower sections of the front bumper cover. A moderate dent with adjacent light-colored paint scuffing is visible on the outer panel of the right rear door, below the door-handle area. The interior shows pronounced creasing and surface wear on the leather outer bolster and cushion of the front driver’s seat. Several light and dark discoloration marks are also visible on the rear leather seat cushion. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data lists 240 horsepower. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. An official NHTSA recall, campaign 16V071000, is listed for a driver-side frontal air-bag inflator module. The inflator may rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments into the passenger compartment. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator at no cost. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
