2013 BMW 328I SA

This 2013 BMW 328i is listed with a salvage condition and a “Rear” primary-damage classification. Visible rear-right exterior damage, including deformation of the right rear quarter panel, a missing right rear tail lamp, and separation of the rear bumper cover, supports the stated “Rear” damage code. However, the salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The right rear quarter panel is moderately creased and deformed around the tail-lamp opening and adjoining trunk-side panel. The right rear outer tail-lamp assembly is missing, leaving the lamp cavity and mounting area exposed; a detached tail-lamp assembly is also shown lying beside the vehicle. The right rear bumper cover is separated from the quarter-panel area, with additional light scuffing and surface abrasions along the right side and lower edge. Both front headlamp lenses appear cloudy and discolored, representing minor cosmetic deterioration. The instrument cluster displays the message “Chassis stabilization: Drive moderately,” along with ABS and tire-pressure warning indicators. The available findings do not establish the cause of these warnings. The chassis, braking, ABS, tire-pressure monitoring, wiring, and related systems should be physically inspected and diagnosed before the vehicle is driven. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 hp. It was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. The VIN provided is WBA3C1G51DNR47985. NHTSA records show recalls associated with this 2013 BMW 328i, including driver frontal air-bag inflator replacement, brake vacuum-pump power-assist issues, exterior-lighting software affecting front side-marker operation, and a water-pump electrical-connector short-circuit/fire-risk issue. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase. A full inspection is recommended, including the rear body structure and quarter-panel mounting areas, tail-lamp and bumper mounting points, lighting and wiring, chassis and suspension alignment, ABS and stability-control systems, tire-pressure monitoring, braking performance, and the vehicle’s overall salvage-repair history.
