2013 BMW 328I

The auction record identifies this 2013 BMW 328i as a “NON-REPAIRABLE VEHICLE CERT” with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the SIDE damage description: the left rear door is severely crushed, with deep folds and distorted panel contours. Deformation extends into the adjacent quarter panel, the area around the left rear wheel arch, and the lower side sill. Extensive paint scraping and abrasion are present, with additional paint transfer along the left rear quarter and left rear bumper corner. Stage 1 reports that the photos support the SIDE damage classification, but cannot confirm the NON-REPAIRABLE VEHICLE CERT status. Both front headlamp lenses show substantial clouding and yellowing across their outer surfaces, representing a minor cosmetic issue. No other findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a German-built BMW 328i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded safety equipment includes front, knee, side, and curtain airbags, as well as direct tire-pressure monitoring. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year, including recalls involving the driver frontal airbag inflator, brake vacuum assistance, exterior lighting software, and the engine cooling-system water pump electrical connector. The water-pump recall notice states that owner letters were mailed in March 2025. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
