2013 BMW 328

The vehicle is a 2013 BMW 328i sedan, VIN WBA3C1C50DF440463, identified by the VIN decoder as a gasoline-powered 2.0-liter four-cylinder model built by BMW AG in Germany. The auction record lists a salvage title certificate and classifies the primary damage as FRONT END. This is an auction designation and is not independently confirmed by the available findings. The visible evidence supports the stated FRONT END classification through extensive front-end crushing, broken components, and deployed airbags; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with sharp creases, deep deformation, torn or folded sections, and an irregularly damaged leading edge. The front bumper cover is severely crushed and torn, with large deformed sections, open gaps, and broken lower portions. The kidney grille surrounds are distorted, and the grille inserts contain broken or missing sections. The front-left corner is severely deformed, including the fender edge, bumper, and lamp area. One front lamp assembly is visibly broken, with an open area where the assembly or portions of it are missing. Exposed components behind the bumper and several engine-bay covers and air-duct sections are also damaged, cracked, torn, or missing material. A large front underbody splash shield or lower panel is detached and lying on the ground. The steering-wheel airbag, front passenger dashboard airbag, and additional lower driver-side airbag material are visibly deployed. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and cooling-system inspection, along with replacement and calibration of all affected safety components. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, frame, or other systems not visibly described. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 16V071000, concerning the driver-side frontal airbag inflator. The recall involves a potential inflator rupture during deployment, which may cause serious injury or death. Because the driver airbag is deployed, the recall remedy status and the condition of the replacement restraint system should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
