2018 BMW 330I XDRIVE

The vehicle is recorded at auction as **Salvage**, with **Mechanical** listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that this mechanical damage could not be confirmed from the exterior photographs and requires a physical inspection; the visible photos showed no clear major collision damage. The documented visible damage is minor and concentrated at the front lower bumper. The lower bumper trim, insert, and lip appear unevenly seated, with visible separation and gaps around the lower air-intake area. The alignment should be checked, and the trim’s mounting points and adjacent components should be inspected for damage or missing fasteners. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW 330i xDrive sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. NHTSA recall campaign **18V465000** is listed for certain 2018 BMW 330i and 330i xDrive vehicles. The recall concerns incorrect crankshaft-sensor firmware that may cause the engine to stall. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the crankshaft sensor at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN. Because the auction’s mechanical claim is not confirmed by the exterior findings, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended, including diagnostic scanning, engine and transmission operation, drivetrain and underbody checks, and verification of the recall repair.
