2014 BMW 328 xDrive

The vehicle is a 2014 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported 240 horsepower. The VIN decodes as a vehicle manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The recorded damage consists of missing exterior rocker-panel trim on both sides. On the right lower rocker panel, a long section of trim is absent, exposing dark mounting areas and multiple openings. The left lower rocker panel has similar missing trim, with exposed mounting areas and irregular openings. Replacement of the missing trim and inspection of the underlying rocker panels and mounting points are recommended. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, the supplied Stage 1 assessment states that the hail claim is contradicted by the visible evidence: the roof, hood, and trunk/decklid appear largely smooth, without the numerous small shallow dents on upward-facing panels that would support a hail-damage pattern. This assessment is separate from the documented missing rocker-panel trim.
