2012 BMW 328

This 2012 BMW 328i is listed with a salvage vehicle title. The auction’s primary damage designation is “BURN - ENGINE.” However, this claim cannot be confirmed from the available photos and requires a physical inspection. Visible damage is concentrated in the engine-bay wiring and front exterior. Multiple wiring sections and connectors in the right-rear area of the engine bay are exposed and separated from the surrounding harness covering. Several sections near the right strut tower also appear to have deteriorated or missing insulation, leaving individual colored wires exposed. These issues should be professionally inspected for damaged conductors, connectors, short circuits, and proper harness repair before the vehicle is operated. Cosmetic findings include light scuffing on the upper engine-bay cover, paint chips and surface scratches across the hood, light scuffing on the lower front bumper, and horizontal scuff marks on the rear bumper cover. Both front headlight lenses show yellowing or cloudiness. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a BMW 328i sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data lists 241 horsepower. The VIN decode was reported as clean, with a correct check digit. The supplied recall information lists recall 16V071000 concerning the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment and propel metal fragments into the passenger compartment. The listed remedy is replacement of the affected air-bag module or inflator by BMW at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the vehicle’s VIN.
