2013 BMW 328I

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a Salvage condition and Front End primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification through extensive damage to the hood, bumper, lighting, reinforcement, and lower front-end areas. Stage 1 also notes that Salvage is a title classification and cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The 2013 BMW 328i has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is deeply creased and heavily buckled across the front portion, with the leading edge folded and uneven. The front bumper cover and fascia are missing from the vehicle, while the removed bumper assembly has extensive cracking, torn mounting points, broken plastic, and separated components. Both front headlamp assemblies are absent, exposing internal brackets and wiring. The aluminum-colored front bumper reinforcement is visibly bowed and deformed. Lower front supports and attached plastic components are bent, displaced, and separated. The front corner and wheel-arch area also contain broken and displaced fascia pieces, irregular panel edges, and exposed internal components. Wiring and connectors are hanging near the front-right side of the engine compartment, with surrounding trim and mounting components missing. The restraint system has significant visible damage. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and curtain airbags are deployed along both the roof-side and rear passenger-cabin areas. The instrument cluster shows illuminated ABS, BRAKE, airbag/restraint, and related warning indicators. The condition of the vehicle’s underlying structural components, cooling system, engine, transmission, suspension, steering, braking system, and electronic systems cannot be determined from these findings and should be assessed through a thorough physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. NHTSA records list several safety recalls applicable to the 2013 BMW 328i, including recalls involving the driver frontal airbag inflator, brake vacuum-pump assistance, exterior lighting software, and the electric water-pump connector. Recall completion and any outstanding campaign requirements should be verified using the vehicle’s VIN.
