2016 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The auction records list this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with SIDE recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive side damage supports the SIDE classification, while noting that the photographs cannot verify the salvage-title status itself. The vehicle is identified by VIN as a 2016 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported output of 241 hp. The VIN decodes to BMW AG production in South Africa. The left front door is severely crushed, with deep dents, sharp creases, distorted edges at the door seams, and deformation along the inner edge and exposed gap. The left rear door also has extensive dents and deep horizontal and diagonal creases, including damage around the handle and lower section. The collision resulted in deployment of the curtain airbag along the left roof edge and upper side of the cabin. A front seat side airbag is also deployed, with the seat upholstery opened along the outer side seam. Severe damage is present at the right rear of the vehicle. The trunk lid is heavily deformed, with a raised uneven gap and a folded right edge. The surrounding right rear quarter panel has moderate creasing and irregular deformation around the tail lamp and trunk-side area. The right rear tail lamp is broken, with its housing and lens damaged and internal components, including green circuit-board material, exposed. The rear trunk and right rear corner show a large irregular opening and folded metal, and the right rear lamp assembly is incomplete. The documented findings indicate substantial body and restraint-system damage. The condition of the underlying structure, suspension, electrical systems, and drivetrain cannot be determined from these findings and would require a comprehensive physical inspection.
