2016 BMW 328I XDRIVE

The vehicle is listed with an auction primary-damage classification of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage evident to the hood, bumper, grille, headlamp area, cooling components, and front support structure. The hood has severe crushing and sharp folding across the front and center sections, along with paint scuffing and exposed chips. The front bumper cover is displaced and torn, with broken edges, open gaps, scraped paint, and missing sections around the lower and center openings. Additional broad gouging and transferred material are visible on the bumper surface. The center kidney grille has broken and missing components, exposing the cooling components and internal front area. The viewer-left front headlamp area has broken and displaced surrounding parts, exposed internal components, and an irregular opening. The front radiator, condenser, and surrounding support components appear bent, crushed, and displaced. Plastic intake and ducting components in the lower front engine-bay area are also broken, separated, or displaced. The front fender at the damaged corner has moderate sharp deformation and folded metal around the leading edge and headlamp area. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2016 BMW 328i sedan with xDrive all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a stated output of 241 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. One NHTSA recall is listed for this make, 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. The specified remedy is inspection and replacement of the water pump and connector as necessary, together with installation of a protective shield, at no charge. The recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided. Because the visible front-end damage includes the cooling stack and support components, a comprehensive inspection is recommended before purchase to assess structural condition, cooling-system integrity, lighting, wiring, safety systems, and any mechanical damage not visible in the supplied findings.
