2014 BMW 328I XDRIVE

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Left Front.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support an undamaged or clear condition because substantial left-front collision damage is present. Stage 1 also reports that the Left Front primary-damage designation is supported by the photographs. The 2014 BMW 328i is decoded as a four-door sedan with xDrive all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and approximately 240 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Rosslyn, South Africa. The left front has severe collision damage. The bumper cover and front fascia are crushed, heavily cracked and torn, with sections missing and internal components exposed. The left front headlamp assembly is broken, and the lamp area is open with reflector components visible. The left front corner of the hood has a pronounced crease and upward deformation, with an uneven gap at the front edge. The left front fender and wheel-arch edge are also deformed and separated from the bumper area. Light surface scuffing and discoloration are visible along the lower rocker-panel area behind the front wheel. The findings indicate damage concentrated around the left front bumper, headlamp, hood corner, fender, and fascia. The condition of components behind these areas—including structural parts, cooling and lighting systems, wiring, suspension, steering, braking systems, and safety systems—cannot be determined from the supplied findings. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. The vehicle should not be driven until the damaged front-end components and any related safety or mechanical systems have been assessed. NHTSA records list multiple recalls for this model and model year, including campaigns involving the brake-vacuum pump, fuel pump, exterior-lighting software, side/head air-bag inflators, the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, and the electric water-pump connector and protective shield. Recall completion cannot be confirmed from the information provided; the VIN should be checked with BMW or NHTSA, and all outstanding repairs should be completed by an authorized dealer.
