2014 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation, citing severe hood deformation and extensive missing front bumper, grille, and fascia components. The front bumper cover and lower front fascia are absent, exposing the radiator area, bumper reinforcement beam, mounting points, and other internal front-end components. The kidney grille assembly is missing from the vehicle and is shown separately, while an additional lower plastic trim piece is detached. The hood has multiple large, deep buckles and creases across its front section and sits raised irregularly above the front fenders and grille area. Exposed components are also visible around the left headlamp and lower front opening. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 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. The provided findings document substantial front-end collision damage; they do not establish the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, or mechanical components.
