The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end deformation and broken or missing components support the stated FRONT END damage code. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front hood is severely deformed and buckled across the front portion, with a raised, uneven leading edge and a large open gap above the left front fender and headlamp area. The left kidney grille has broken and missing vertical slats, leaving internal components exposed. The front bumper cover, grille surround, and related trim are cracked, displaced, deformed, and unevenly fitted. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 328i convertible with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The available decode does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle's model and year range: recall 16V071000, concerning the driver's frontal air-bag inflator. Excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture during deployment. The listed remedy is replacement of the driver's frontal air-bag module or inflator by BMW at no charge. Recall completion should be verified using the vehicle identification number and BMW service records.
