2021 BMW 330I

The auction record designates the vehicle as **CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE** with **FRONT END** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim through extensive deformation and broken or missing components; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The 2021 BMW 330i has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is extensively creased, buckled, and deformed, with a raised uneven edge above the grille. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are heavily cracked, torn, displaced, and partly missing. Several grille and lower-fascia sections are broken or absent, and loose fragments are visible below the bumper. The front lamp assembly on the left side of the image is absent or extensively damaged, exposing internal components and wiring. The radiator support and surrounding front cooling components are folded, displaced, or broken, leaving the radiator and other cooling-system parts exposed. Additional damage is visible to front-end brackets, plastic panels, metal cross-members, wiring, and cooling-system surrounds. The front fender and wheel-arch area on the left side of the image are bent and torn, with missing trim or fascia material and exposed inner components. The windshield has a moderate spiderweb-like crack in its upper-right area. Both the steering-wheel airbag and the driver-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. Airbag-system components, seat-belt pretensioners, crash sensors, wiring, and related restraint-system parts will require professional inspection and likely repair or replacement. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling-system operation, suspension, steering, frame or unibody alignment, or other systems behind the visible damage. The vehicle should not be driven until it has been fully inspected and repaired. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2021 BMW 330i sedan with a 1.9976-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a Mexico manufacturing location. The decoded data lists standard front, side, knee, and curtain airbag equipment, along with several driver-assistance and safety features; the operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the findings. NHTSA records list the following recalls applicable to the 2021 BMW 330i model: campaign 21V554000 for a passenger-seat-belt automatic-locking retractor that may deactivate early; campaign 21V096000 for rearview-camera software that may obscure part of the image or prevent the image from displaying; campaign 21V298000 for a front seat-belt buckle assembly bolt that may not have been tightened to specification; campaign 23V211000 for an improperly welded seat frame; campaign 23V584000 for software that may fail to provide the required audible seat-belt warning; campaign 25V636000 for a starter relay that may corrode, overheat, and short circuit; and campaign 26V056000 for a starter that may overheat and catch fire.
