2020 BMW 330I NA

The auction record identifies this vehicle as a 2020 BMW 330i with a salvage certificate and FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front bumper cover, grille, both headlamps, and the left front fender are absent or damaged. Stage 1 also states that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement and internal front-end components. The left front fender is absent, leaving the wheel-area structure and components exposed. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing from their installed positions. A removed headlamp assembly is shown on the ground with fractured and separated housing and lens components. The kidney grille assembly and bumper cover are also detached and lying on the ground. The left front wheel-arch liner and adjacent inner plastic material are torn and displaced. The findings document substantial front-end collision damage. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, electrical wiring, sensors, steering and suspension components, airbags, and engine-bay systems cannot be determined from these findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan will be required before estimating the full repair scope. The vehicle should not be driven until the front-end components and safety systems have been properly assessed and repaired. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive BMW 330i sedan built for the 2020 model year, with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decode identifies Mexico as the plant country.
