2016 BMW 328 xDrive SA

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible extensive damage to the front bumper, grille area, headlamp areas, hood, and front fenders supports the stated FRONT END classification. However, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The bumper cover and lower fascia are torn, fractured, displaced, and missing in several areas, leaving large openings and exposing components behind the fascia. The central grille area is incomplete, and both front headlamp areas contain open cavities with broken mounting material; complete headlamp assemblies are not visibly intact. The hood has irregular raised and creased contours, particularly around the front edge and corners. Both front fenders are severely deformed around the wheel arches and headlamp areas, with torn or missing sections and open gaps. The left front and rear doors have moderate linear scraping, paint transfer, and chipped paint across their lower and middle sections. Several driver-side restraint systems are visibly affected. The steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and the driver knee airbag is deployed from beneath the steering wheel. White curtain-airbag fabric is hanging near the driver-side roof and A-pillar. The condition of the remaining airbags, sensors, pretensioners, wiring, and associated control modules requires physical inspection and diagnostic testing. The lower rear bumper has minor surface scuffing and paint marks. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as 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. Mechanical, structural, cooling-system, suspension, steering, braking, electrical, and drivetrain condition cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be thoroughly inspected before purchase.
