2013 BMW 335I

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper and grille are damaged, bumper covers are missing near both headlamps, and additional front-end surface damage is visible. No structural deformation is directly visible in the provided photos. The front bumper cover has multiple deep scratches, gouges, and areas of paint loss across the center and both outer sections. There are rectangular openings near both headlamps where the exterior bumper covers are absent. The left kidney grille and surrounding trim are scuffed and deformed, with several grille slats displaced or damaged. Additional elongated gouges and scraped areas are present on the center-right bumper, including around the sensor-cover area. Both headlamp lenses appear cloudy and yellowed. The hood has minor chips and light surface scratches. The driver steering-wheel airbag and front passenger dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster shows a Service Engine Soon warning, along with illuminated airbag and seat-belt warning symbols. These findings indicate that airbag-system repairs and diagnostic testing will be required, in addition to replacement or repair of the damaged front-end components. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s structure, mechanical systems, or roadworthiness.
