2022 BMW 330I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille components, one headlamp assembly, and other front fascia parts are missing, while the hood shows visible deformation. The front end is substantially incomplete. The bumper reinforcement, radiator area, lower air openings, and other front-end components are exposed. The center kidney grille, multiple lower trim and air-guide pieces, and several front fascia components are absent. One headlamp assembly is missing, while the opposite lamp remains visible. The hood has creasing and deformation along its front edge and both front corners. Additional exterior damage includes a missing or detached front wheel-well liner, absent rocker-panel trim with mounting holes and fasteners exposed, and a missing side mirror. The detached mirror assembly, bumper cover, grille pieces, and rocker trim are shown on the ground beside the vehicle. The front-door handle area has an open hole with a narrow black piece hanging below it. Light longitudinal scuffing and surface abrasion are visible along the lower door and rocker areas. The vehicle decodes as a 2022 BMW 330i sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. The VIN data identifies BMW AG as the manufacturer and San Luis Potosí, Mexico, as the assembly location. Drive type and engine model are not specified in the supplied data. The supplied records identify three NHTSA recalls for this model and year. Recall 22V070000 concerns the automatic-transmission mechatronics unit and the risk of an internal leak that could allow vehicle rollaway; BMW reported that all vehicles in the recall population had been repaired, with replacement performed free of charge. Recall 23V584000 concerns software that may fail to provide the required audible seat-belt warning; the remedy is a free software update. Recall 26V056000 concerns possible starter-motor overheating and fire risk on applicable vehicles; the remedy is free starter replacement. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase.
