2016 BMW 428 xDrive

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. These are unverified auction claims. Stage 1 reports that the photos show light cosmetic scuffing on the side surfaces but no clearly visible major side-impact deformation; the “SIDE” classification is therefore not strongly supported by the visible evidence. Stage 1 also states that the Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage consists of minor cosmetic scuffing along the lower door and rocker-panel areas on both sides, with broader light-colored streaks and abrasion-like marks on the lower right-side doors and rocker panel. Additional light scuffing is visible on the lower right front door. The rear bumper cover has several light horizontal scratches and scuff marks, including below the license-plate mounting recess. No other damage findings were provided. VIN data identifies the vehicle as a 2016 BMW 428i xDrive convertible/cabriolet, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and all-wheel drive. A physical inspection is recommended to verify the salvage documentation, check the affected side and rocker-panel areas, and assess the bumper and any related structural or mechanical components.
