2013 BMW 328

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front bumper and adjacent front fender damage support this classification; extensive damage is also visible on the side and rear corner. The visible body damage is substantial. The side door and rear quarter panel have multiple deep dents, sharp creases, extensive paint scraping, and paint transfer. Additional dents and abrasions continue toward the front fender. The rocker-panel area below the doors has pronounced scuffing and irregular deformation. The rear bumper corner has heavy abrasion, dark scuffing, paint loss, surface deformation, and an irregular opening in the bumper cover. At the front, part of the bumper cover is torn and missing, with broken edges and dark components exposed behind it. The adjacent fender edge is creased, chipped, and scraped, while the lower front bumper lip has additional linear scraping. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 328i two-door coupe, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine, with a decoded output of 230 horsepower. The vehicle is equipped with front, side, and curtain airbags, manual seat belts, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle range: recall 16V071000, concerning the driver frontal air-bag inflator. Excessive internal pressure could cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments into the passenger compartment. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver air-bag module or inflator at no charge. The repair status for this vehicle should be confirmed with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A thorough inspection should also be performed to assess structural, suspension, wheel, lighting, restraint-system, and mechanical condition beyond the visible exterior damage.
