2013 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. The visible deformation and paint scraping on the right rear quarter panel are consistent with the stated side-damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The documented damage is moderate and is concentrated around the right rear wheel arch. The quarter panel has a horizontal crease, visible deformation, and scraped paint along the forward and upper edge of the wheel opening. The findings do not provide information about possible hidden damage, wheel or suspension condition, alignment, structural components, or mechanical operation. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase and repair. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and approximately 240 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. An NHTSA safety recall was identified for the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator. Excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments into the passenger compartment. The remedy involves replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator, depending on the vehicle model. Confirm with BMW whether the recall repair has been completed for this specific vehicle.
