2016 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage code is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible deformation of the left front and left rear doors supports the SIDE classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photos alone. The left front door is severely crushed, with extensive deep creasing, multiple sharp deformations, and large inward depressions across the outer panel. The left rear door also has severe damage, including deep irregular creases and substantial inward displacement through the middle and lower sections. The side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed along the roof-side area and hangs into the upper passenger compartment. White airbag fabric is also protruding from the outer side of the front seat, indicating deployment of a front-seat side airbag. Airbag-system components, seat belts, related sensors, and the surrounding structural areas will require professional inspection and possible replacement. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an indicated output of 241 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. Repairs should include a thorough assessment of the door structures, side-impact areas, restraint systems, wiring, and vehicle alignment before determining the full repair scope.
