2013 BMW 328I

The auction’s primary damage classification is “Normal Wear & Tear.” However, the provided Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence does not fully support this classification: the rear bumper has substantial abrasion and gouging consistent with collision damage, in addition to minor exterior scuffing and headlight oxidation. The documented exterior damage includes a cloudy, discolored right-front headlight lens and minor scuffing on the front-right bumper corner. Additional surface scratches and dark marks are visible across the front bumper and right-front corner. Dark abrasion or paint-transfer-like marks are also present on the right exterior mirror and adjacent front door. The left-rear bumper corner shows more substantial damage, including extensive scraping, gouging, localized paint loss, and dark transfer marks. No other findings were provided, so the condition of the mechanical, structural, electrical, interior, and underbody components has not been established by this report. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. It is specified with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and a reported output of 240 horsepower. The available decode does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. NHTSA recall records list five campaigns associated with this model and year: driver frontal air-bag inflator replacement, two campaigns concerning the brake vacuum pump or its retention and lubrication, exterior-lighting software affecting front side-marker operation, and a water-pump electrical connector issue that may increase fire risk. The recall records state that the remedies are to be performed free of charge, but completion for this particular vehicle was not provided. The buyer should have BMW or an authorized dealer verify the VIN-specific recall status and confirm that all applicable repairs have been completed.
