2020 BMW 330I NA

The auction record identifies this 2020 BMW 330i as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left-side doors, rocker panel, and rear quarter panel supports the stated SIDE damage classification. The salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from the photos. The left rear door is severely crushed, with extensive wrinkling, deep creases, scraped paint, and a collapsed outer skin. The lower left rocker panel and side-sill area are also severely crushed, scraped, and irregularly deformed, with exposed dark material along the lower edge. The left front door has a broad moderate dent and crease toward its rear and lower sections, along with abrasion and dark transferred marks. Moderate denting and creasing are visible on the left rear quarter panel around the forward portion of the rear wheel arch. Because the rocker panel and side-sill area are substantially deformed, the vehicle should receive a thorough structural and underbody inspection. The condition of the door frames, hinges, latches, wiring, side-impact safety systems, wheel alignment, suspension, and any damage behind the visible panels cannot be determined from the provided findings. The VIN decodes as a 2020 BMW 330i sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Mexico. The provided NHTSA recall data lists recalls involving the rear seat-belt pretensioners (19V912000), headlight control units (19V850000), rearview-camera software (21V096000 and 19V684000), the interior trunk-release cable (19V755000), the engine counterbalance-shaft bearings (19V732000), front seat-belt buckles (20V164000), and, for applicable configurations, steering tie rods (20V355000). It also lists recalls concerning seat-frame welding (23V211000), seat-belt warning software (23V584000), and the starter relay, which may overheat and short-circuit (25V636000). Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed with BMW or through an NHTSA VIN search before purchase or use.
