2013 BMW 328

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and a FRONT END primary-damage designation. According to the Stage 1 assessment, the visible damage is consistent with the unverified front-end claim, including extensive damage to the front bumper, left headlamp, grille area, hood, and fender. The salvage certificate status itself could not be confirmed from the available images. The front left bumper cover is severely torn, cracked, displaced, and partially missing, exposing internal components. The left headlamp assembly is displaced and has broken lens or housing material and surrounding trim. The left-side kidney grille surround and adjacent trim are cracked, separated, and displaced. The lower front fascia and air-intake area also have cracks, separated sections, and an uneven opening. Additional moderate damage is visible at the front left hood corner, where there is a crease, irregular deformation, and an uneven gap above the damaged front corner. The front left fender is deformed, with an irregular edge beside the hood and headlamp. Repairs are likely to require replacement or repair of multiple front-end body and lighting components, followed by inspection of the underlying mounting structures and systems. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, with a listed output of 240 horsepower. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, as well as seat-belt pretensioners and direct tire-pressure monitoring. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 16V071000, concerning the driver frontal air-bag inflator module. The inflator may rupture during deployment and propel metal fragments into the passenger compartment. The recall remedy involves replacement of the driver air-bag module or inflator at no charge; completion should be verified with BMW or through an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
