2016 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The auction records list the vehicle as “PERMIT NO BRAND - UNFIT” and classify the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible side-panel deformation supports the auction’s SIDE damage code; however, the photographs do not establish permit status, branding status, or an unfit condition, so those aspects cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The visible damage is concentrated along the side of the vehicle. The front door has a broad horizontal depression with multiple creases and distorted contours, assessed as moderate collision damage. The rear door has a large irregular depression with pronounced horizontal and diagonal creasing across the middle and lower panel, assessed as severe. The rear quarter panel above and ahead of the rear wheel also has a substantial irregular dent with sharp creasing and distorted reflections, assessed as moderate. These panels may require significant body repair or replacement, subject to physical inspection. Minor linear scuffs and abrasions are visible on the rear bumper cover and the adjacent lower rear body area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2016 BMW 328i sedan with xDrive all-wheel drive. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The supplied data does not include transmission details or factory options. A physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed structural, mechanical, suspension, wheel, door-operation, and safety-system damage before purchase.
