2016 BMW 328I

The 2016 BMW 328i is listed with a salvage condition and “Left Side” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the stated left-side claim, with extensive damage to the left mirror, front fender, front door, rear door, and rear quarter panel. The salvage title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving the mounting area exposed with internal components and wiring visible. The left front fender has severe crushing, sharp creases, torn-looking edges, and paint abrasion around the wheel arch and rear edge. The left headlamp lens or housing is cracked or broken, and the left rear edge of the hood has visible creasing and irregular deformation. The left front bumper corner also shows lighter horizontal scuffing and paint abrasion. The left front door has broad, deep denting and multiple creases, along with scraped paint across its lower and middle sections. Trim around the door handle is broken or missing, with hardware exposed. The left rear door has moderate denting, creasing, and paint abrasion around the handle and across the lower and middle sections. The left rear quarter panel has a pronounced dent and crease above and forward of the rear wheel opening, with additional scuffing near the panel edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a BMW 328i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and factory-recorded curtain, front, knee, and side airbags, along with front-seat-belt pretensioners and direct tire-pressure monitoring. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: campaign 24V608000, concerning the engine cooling-system water pump. An improperly sealed electrical connector may be exposed to water and short circuit, increasing the risk of fire. BMW’s stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the water pump and connector as necessary, together with installation of a protective shield, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
