2014 BMW 328I

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing the missing and damaged front bumper cover, damaged headlamp area, deformed hood edge, and exposed front components. The 2014 BMW 328i is identified by VIN WBA3A5C52EF605881 as a four-door sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. Factory data identifies a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. The front end has substantial collision damage. The front bumper cover is missing, exposing the radiator, bumper reinforcement, and lower front components. The bumper reinforcement has an uneven profile with a depressed area across the center-right section. The lower air deflector and splash-panel sections are missing or hanging below the front opening, and the kidney grille assembly is absent. The removed bumper cover itself has multiple cracks, torn and broken sections, extensive black transfer marks, and scuffing. Both front headlamp areas are affected. The left headlamp has broken or displaced housing components, with internal parts and wiring exposed. The right headlamp is separated from the surrounding bodywork, with irregular gaps along its lower and outer edges. The front edge of the hood is uneven, with raised gaps above the headlamps and front fascia. The left front fender edge and adjacent lamp opening show distorted metal and exposed gaps. The right front corner has missing fascia material and irregular panel edges around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. A small dent is also present in the lower-middle area of the front door. The available findings document visible exterior and front-end damage only. They do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, brakes, airbags, electrical systems, or underlying structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and verification of repairs would be required before purchase, including inspection of the exposed front components and confirmation that all required safety systems operate correctly. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to 2014 BMW 328i vehicles, including campaigns involving the brake vacuum pump, fuel pump, exterior-lighting software, head and side-window air-bag inflators, the driver frontal air-bag inflator, and the electric water-pump connector. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer, as completion status was not provided.
