2013 BMW 328 xDrive

The vehicle is a 2013 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported 240 horsepower. The VIN decode identifies Germany as the manufacturing country. The auction record lists the vehicle with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and identifies FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-left collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front-left corner has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily crushed and creased above the headlamp area, and the front-left fender is sharply deformed around the headlamp and wheel arch. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, with broken fragments and the exposed mounting cavity visible. The bumper cover is torn and displaced, with separated sections and exposed components. The lower front fascia and grille area also have broken or missing sections, exposing internal components. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the vehicle will require substantial front-end repairs and replacement parts. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, electrical components, airbags, or drivetrain; these areas should be physically inspected before purchase. NHTSA records a recall for the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator under campaign 16V071000. The inflator may rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments toward occupants. The recall remedy was replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator by BMW at no charge. Completion status for this vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer.
