2014 BMW 428

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation and missing exterior components on the left rear side support the auction’s SIDE primary-damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The documented damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter panel. The panel is visibly creased and deformed around the fuel-filler opening and above the rear wheel arch, with a pronounced horizontal crease near the rear edge of the door. The exterior fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the opening and surrounding components exposed. A rectangular section of the quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel is also absent, exposing an inner panel and openings. Light scuffs and scrape marks are present on the left rear quarter panel and the left corner of the rear bumper. The VIN decodes as a 2014 BMW 428i 4-Series convertible, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is listed with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. The vehicle has front, side, curtain, knee, and seat-cushion airbag entries, along with driver and front-passenger seat-belt pretensioners. The damage findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, structural components, convertible roof, fuel system, or safety systems. A physical inspection and verification of repairs are recommended before purchase.
