2013 BMW 328I SA

The auction lists the primary damage as “Rear.” This is an unverified auction designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage claim, with substantial damage at the left rear bumper, left rear tail lamp, and adjacent rear body panels. The left rear bumper cover is severely crushed and deformed, with deep creases, extensive scraping, scuffing, and an irregular opening near the left corner. The left rear tail lamp assembly is broken and displaced, with missing lens sections and exposed internal components. The surrounding left rear quarter panel and trunk corner are also deformed, with irregular contours and widened, uneven panel gaps. The visible front headlamp lenses appear lightly cloudy or oxidized. The vehicle is identified by VIN WBA3A5G55DNP23759 as a 2013 BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. NHTSA records identify BMW AG as the manufacturer and South Africa as the production country. The VIN decode is reported as clean with a valid check digit; this does not establish the vehicle’s repair history or current mechanical condition. Official recall records include campaigns concerning the driver frontal air-bag inflator, brake vacuum pump and power-assist operation, exterior-lighting software affecting front side-marker lamps, and a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit and increase fire risk. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase. Due to the extent of the rear impact damage, the bumper reinforcement, rear body structure, lighting wiring, trunk area, sensors, suspension, exhaust, and wheel alignment should be physically inspected, as these areas cannot be confirmed from the listed exterior findings.
