2015 BMW 328D

This 2015 BMW 328d is listed with a Salvage title and “Right Rear” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible right-rear collision damage supports the stated primary-damage claim; however, the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The right rear bumper cover is severely crushed, torn, cracked, heavily abraded, and missing material, with an irregular opening in the lower section. The right rear quarter panel has moderate deformation, including a large dent and pronounced creasing above and forward of the rear wheel arch, extending toward the rear lamp and bumper seam. Repairs will likely require replacement or substantial repair of the bumper cover, along with quarter-panel bodywork and refinishing. The condition of components behind these exterior panels is not established by the supplied findings and should be physically inspected. An amber check-engine indicator is visible on the instrument cluster with the ignition switched on. This raises a concern regarding a possible diesel emissions-system fault, but the underlying fault cannot be identified from the available information. Diagnostic scanning and a complete mechanical inspection are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a BMW 328d sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany, with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model and model year. These include EGR cooler and intake-manifold fire-risk recalls, including campaigns 18V755000 and 21V907000; a high-pressure diesel fuel-pump recall, campaign 21V586000; an exterior-lighting software recall, campaign 15V520000; and a side/window air-bag inflator recall, campaign 24V288000. Campaign 20V185000 applies to certain 328d xDrive vehicles and concerns the constant-velocity joint. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed with BMW using the VIN, as the supplied data does not include repair history or the vehicle’s drive configuration.
