2015 BMW 328I SA

The auction lists the primary damage as right-front damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage to the right-front fender, hood edge, headlamp area, and bumper corner. The right-front fender is deeply creased and crushed around the wheel arch, with broken or displaced material along its lower front edge. The right side of the hood is buckled, with an uneven raised edge above the damaged fender and headlamp area. The right-front headlamp is displaced and heavily clouded, with irregular gaps between the lamp, hood, fender, and bumper. The right-front bumper cover has a large broken or missing section beside the grille, exposing internal bumper and mounting components. The wheel-arch trim and liner material are detached or missing, leaving gaps and exposed components. Several light surface scratches are also visible on the lower rear bumper corner. The vehicle decodes as a 2015 BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The VIN decoder identifies BMW AG as the manufacturer and Rosslyn, South Africa, as the assembly plant. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. NHTSA records list four recalls associated with this model and model year: a front side-marker-light software issue, a head air-bag inflator defect, a driver air-bag inflator defect, and a water-pump electrical-connector issue that may increase fire risk. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number before purchase. Due to the extent of the right-front impact, a professional inspection should verify the headlamp and bumper mounting points, front structural components, suspension and steering, wheel and tire condition, wiring, cooling-system components, and the operation of all safety systems.
