2013 BMW 335

The vehicle is a 2013 BMW 335i sedan, identified by VIN WBA3A9C51DF476280. NHTSA data lists a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 hp. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany. The auction lists the vehicle as having a salvage title with FRONT END as the primary damage. Based on Stage 1’s photo assessment, the extensive visible front-bumper damage supports the FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-title designation itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover is severely damaged across the center and both corners. It has extensive black scuffing, chipped or missing white paint, cracks and tears, an irregular opening at the lower left corner, and broken or missing sections along the lower edge. The lower grille opening is exposed within the damaged cover. The rear bumper also has cosmetic collision damage, including multiple black scuffs, chipped paint, and linear gouges on the right side and corner, with additional scuffing and chipped paint at the left lower corner. Inside, the black leather driver’s seat shows minor creasing and surface wear on the cushion and outer side bolster. No other damage findings were provided. The supplied NHTSA recall information includes campaign 16V071000 concerning a driver’s frontal air-bag inflator. The applicability listed for that campaign does not include a 2013 335i sedan, so recall status should be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN and BMW service records.
