2011 BMW 328 xDrive

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left-side doors, rocker area, and rear quarter panel supports the SIDE classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left side. The left rear door has multiple deep dents and long horizontal creases, while the left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show severe deformation and creasing around the fuel-door area and above the rear wheel. The left front door also has several dents, creases, scratches, and deformation near the door handle. The left rocker panel and lower side area are uneven and dented, with longitudinal scuffing. Broad linear scratches and paint scuffing are visible across multiple left-side panels. Additional exterior issues include minor scuffing and a thin linear mark on the lower-left corner of the front bumper. Both front headlamp lenses appear cloudy and yellowed. Inside, the tan leather front seats show creasing, discoloration, and surface wear. The tan rear-seat upholstery also has visible discoloration and staining. The instrument cluster reportedly displays a yellow coolant-system warning symbol together with a “SERVICE ENGINE SOON” message. This is consistent with a known BMW 3 Series cooling-system concern, but the underlying mechanical condition cannot be determined from the photos. A complete mechanical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2011 BMW 328i xDrive sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and 230 horsepower, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The VIN is listed with a frontal driver-side air-bag inflator recall, campaign 16V071000. The recall involves a possible inflator rupture during deployment; recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is driven.
