2015 BMW 428 xDrive

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE - SALVAGE” condition and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with substantial deformation on the left-side door, rear quarter, wheel arch, and rocker area. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The most significant visible damage is on the left side. The front door and adjacent rear quarter panel have multiple deep creases and irregular deformation. The left rear wheel arch is visibly crumpled, with scraped paint along the metal and painted edge. The left rocker panel and side skirt also show a pronounced gap, fractured and displaced trim, and loose-looking sections beneath the doors. The lower front bumper has moderate damage, including an open gap at the lower lip, displaced trim, and broken-looking edges near the corner. Dark scuffing and abrasion are also visible on the lower bumper corner, with separation at the lower lip. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 BMW 428i xDrive convertible with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and all-wheel drive. It was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The VIN decode also identifies front, knee, and side airbags for the first row, manual seat belts, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Further inspection is recommended to assess structural alignment, door and convertible-top operation, wheel-arch and suspension components, rocker-panel integrity, and any damage concealed beneath the exterior panels.
