2015 BMW 335I

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the hood, grille components, and front fascia show clear visible damage. The front hood is severely deformed across the front and center sections, with multiple deep creases, raised areas, and an irregular leading edge. The central kidney-grille area has broken and missing trim, exposing the radiator surfaces behind it. The upper front fascia and grille surround have moderate cracking, jagged edges, and displaced plastic, particularly on the right side as viewed from the front. The front BMW emblem is also missing, leaving only its dark circular holder. The visible-side front fender and both doors show extensive horizontal scuffing and light-colored paint transfer. Additional abrasion, paint loss, and scrape marks are present along the visible-side door edges and lower and mid-door panels. These findings indicate substantial exterior collision damage, but the supplied findings do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, structural components, suspension, airbags, or other mechanical systems. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 BMW 335i sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Munich, Germany.
