2015 BMW 328I SA

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Right Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support the “Clear” designation: right-side damage is visible, including door and rocker scuffing and a torn right rear tire. Stage 1 considers the “Right Side” primary-damage code supported by the photographs. The vehicle is a 2015 BMW 328i sedan, VIN WBA3A5G53FNS87027. NHTSA decoding identifies a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and South African production by BMW AG. Drive type and transmission information were not provided. Observed damage includes a moderate tear and abrasion on the outer shoulder and sidewall of the right rear tire, with separated rubber and lighter underlying material exposed. The tire should be replaced before driving, and the wheel, suspension, alignment, and surrounding components should be physically inspected for related damage. The lower section of the right rear door has a shallow dent with dark scuffing near the lower edge. Dark linear scuffing and light paint abrasion are also present along the lower edge of the right front door and adjacent rocker area. Several small dark marks and light surface abrasions are visible on the front bumper cover around the lower grille and license-plate mounting area. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to 2015 BMW 328i vehicles, including campaigns involving front side-marker-light software, head air-bag inflators, the driver frontal air-bag inflator, and the electric water-pump connector and protective shield. Recall completion is not confirmed by the information provided, so the VIN should be checked with BMW or NHTSA and any outstanding repairs verified before purchase.
