2011 BMW 335 SA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front-end components support this primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The 2011 BMW 335i is identified by VIN decoding as a four-door sedan with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW AG in South Africa. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper cover, kidney grille inserts, lower grille and air-intake trim, and surrounding fascia components are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, wiring, lower components, and internal structures. The front fender panels are absent around the exposed wheel areas. One front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. Detached bumper, grille, trim, and lamp-related parts are present on the ground; several show breaks, separated sections, and missing portions. A minor vertical scuff is visible below the near-side front door handle, with a small dark opening or missing trim piece in the handle area. The remaining visible headlamp on the opposite side appears yellowed or cloudy. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, drivetrain, suspension, steering, cooling system, electrical systems, airbags, or underlying structural components. A complete physical inspection and verification of all missing parts, mounting points, wiring, and safety systems will be required before repair or purchase. An NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle group involving the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator. The inflator may rupture during deployment and project metal fragments, creating a serious injury risk. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal air-bag module or inflator by an authorized dealer, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
