2014 BMW 428

The vehicle is a 2014 BMW 428i coupe, equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The VIN decodes to a BMW AG vehicle manufactured in Munich, Germany. Factory data identifies direct tire-pressure monitoring and front and first-/second-row curtain airbags, along with front side and driver/passenger knee airbag locations. The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” and the primary damage as “SIDE.” The visible evidence supports the unverified “SIDE” damage classification: the left door is severely crushed and deeply creased across most of its outer surface, with extensive scraped paint. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area also show severe dents, deformation, deep creasing, and dark scuffing. Additional abrasions and localized deformation are present along the lower left door, rocker-side area, and side skirt. The instrument cluster displays a “TPM malfunction” message, along with a yellow engine-shaped warning indicator and a red restraint-related warning indicator. The tire-pressure monitoring fault is consistent with a system or sensor problem, although its underlying cause cannot be determined from the available findings. The photos do not establish the cause or significance of the other illuminated warnings. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified “SIDE” primary-damage code because extensive impact-related deformation and scraping are visible on the left door, rocker-side area, and rear quarter panel. Stage 1 also states that the photos do not independently establish the auction title or certificate status. A comprehensive inspection should confirm the condition of the door, quarter panel, rocker structure, wheel-arch area, restraint system, engine-warning fault, and tire-pressure monitoring system before purchase.
