2016 BMW 328I SA

The auction lists “Right Front” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports this classification: the right front headlamp is missing, and the right front bumper, fender, and wheel-arch components are visibly damaged. The right front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving internal mounting areas and wiring exposed. The bumper cover is torn, displaced, and deformed at the right corner and lower front section, with additional components exposed behind it. The grille opening and surrounding trim are irregular, displaced, or missing. The right front fender is creased around the wheel arch, while the wheel-arch liner and adjacent plastic trim are torn, displaced, and partially absent. The lower bumper and lower grille trim are also separated, with uneven gaps and displaced plastic sections. The instrument cluster displays ABS, BRAKE, tire-pressure, restraint, and general vehicle warning indicators. The findings do not establish the causes of these warnings or confirm the operating condition of the related systems. The visible damage is concentrated at the right front corner; the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, and restraint components should be verified through a physical inspection before purchase or repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW 328i four-door sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 hp. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa. NHTSA recall campaign 24V608000 is listed for this model and year. It concerns a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit if exposed to water, increasing the risk of fire. The recall remedy includes inspection and replacement of the water pump and connector as necessary, along with installation of a protective shield. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW using the vehicle identification number.
