2024 BMW 330I

The auction record identifies this 2024 BMW 330i as having a salvage certificate with “VANDALISM” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible shattered front windshield and missing rear windshield glass are consistent with the stated vandalism claim, but the cause cannot be confirmed from photographs. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-certificate status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The front windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking across the glass, with a large section missing. The rear windshield glass is also absent, leaving a large open aperture with broken glass remaining around the edges. Both windshields will require replacement, and the vehicle should be inspected for related damage to the glass surrounds, interior, wiring, safety systems, and body structure. The VIN decodes as a 2024 BMW 330i sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 hp. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The decode identifies standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. Some driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-centering assistance, and parking assist, are listed as optional; the VIN data does not confirm which options are installed on this vehicle. NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include recall 23V770000 for a steering gear that may not have been tightened properly, potentially allowing it to loosen and cause loss of vehicle control.
