2013 BMW 328 xDrive

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of “front end.” According to the supplied photo review, clear front-end collision damage is not visible: the front bumper and hood appear generally intact. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Visible damage is primarily cosmetic. Multiple minor, irregular surface scuffs are present along the lower portions of the visible front and rear doors and adjacent side body panels. The front bumper cover also has light surface marks and scuffing. Both front headlamp lenses show pronounced yellowing and clouding. Inside, the driver’s leather seat has pronounced creasing and discoloration, while the center armrest shows extensive discoloration; these items are assessed as moderate cosmetic wear. The VIN decodes as a 2013 BMW 328i xDrive sedan, built by BMW AG in Germany. It is identified as an all-wheel-drive vehicle with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle’s model range: recall 16V071000, concerning the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment and release metal fragments. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the affected air-bag module or inflator at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The supplied findings do not include a mechanical, structural, underbody, or operational inspection, so those areas should be checked separately before purchase.
