2013 BMW 335

The auction lists this vehicle as having a salvage title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports that classification: severe damage is visible at the front-left corner, with additional damage extending along the left side. The front-left corner has extensive crushing, torn body panels, exposed internal components, and displaced front-end parts. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing or extensively broken, leaving wiring and internal components exposed. The left side of the front bumper is torn, displaced, and missing sections. The left front fender is heavily crushed and torn around the wheel opening, while the front-left edge of the hood is creased and deformed. The left front wheel-well liner and trim are torn, displaced, and hanging below the fender. Damage also affects the left side of the vehicle. The left exterior mirror is detached and hanging beside the front door. The left front door is deformed along its front and lower edges, with the mirror mounting area exposed. The rocker panel and lower side structure beneath the left front door show severe crushing, tearing, and displaced material. At the rear, the left quarter panel has moderate paint abrasion, dark paint transfer, and surface creasing near and forward of the rear wheel arch. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2013 BMW 335i four-door sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 horsepower. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, as well as seat-belt pretensioners and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. The vehicle is listed in an NHTSA recall involving the driver’s frontal airbag inflator. Excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially sending metal fragments into the passenger compartment. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s frontal airbag module or inflator at no charge. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase. Given the severity and spread of the visible damage, a complete physical inspection is recommended before repair or operation, including the front structure, rocker and lower side structure, steering and suspension components, wheel alignment, cooling and lighting systems, wiring, restraint systems, and airbag-related components.
