2015 BMW 335 SA

The vehicle is a 2015 BMW 335i sedan, identified by VIN WBA3A9G51FNS66233. Factory data lists a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 horsepower, with manual seat belts and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified claim, as extensive damage is present to the hood, front fender, bumper, headlamp, and grille. The vehicle is also listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE title condition. Stage 1 states that this title condition cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood has large creases and crushed areas at the damaged corner, creating an irregular raised and lowered surface. The adjacent front fender is severely crumpled around the wheel opening and bumper junction. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are torn, crushed, and displaced, with large openings and damaged lower sections. One headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components and radiator-area parts exposed. A section of the front kidney grille is also missing. Significant damage is also visible at the rear. The rear quarter panel has extensive crushing and deep creasing around the tail lamp and trunk-side area. The associated tail lamp is broken, with missing or displaced sections and exposed internal components. The rear bumper cover near the same corner has moderate crushing, creasing, and scuffing. The instrument cluster displays an “Adaptive headlight malfunction” message, and the missing front headlamp assembly may be related to this system fault. The adaptive headlight system should be inspected and tested after the vehicle is repaired. The extent of the visible damage also warrants a thorough inspection of the structural areas, cooling system, lighting and electrical components, suspension, steering, safety systems, and hidden damage before purchase or repair.
