2016 BMW 328I SA

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper cover and both headlamp assemblies are missing, with detached or broken front-end components visible. The front bumper cover is absent, leaving the radiator and internal front-end components exposed. The detached white bumper cover has broken edges, cracks, and missing sections around its openings and mounting areas. Additional black bumper components are detached and hanging below the exposed front end. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing from their installed positions. One detached headlamp assembly is stored in the trunk; its clear lens area is visibly broken, with internal components exposed. The condition of other front-end components, including the radiator and supporting structure, cannot be determined from the listed findings and should be physically inspected. The exterior rocker molding is missing along the visible lower side sill, exposing the mounting points and sill edge. Light horizontal scuffing is also present on the lower portions of the visible doors and lower side edge. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2016 BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. Drive type and transmission details were not provided in the VIN data. One official NHTSA recall is listed for this model and year: campaign **24V608000**, concerning the engine cooling-system water pump. An improperly sealed electrical connector may be exposed to water and short circuit, increasing the risk of fire. The stated remedy is dealer inspection and, where necessary, replacement of the water pump and connector, together with installation of a protective shield, at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
