2016 BMW 428I XDRIVE

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive deformation and breakage across the hood, front bumper, grille area, and front support components. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily deformed across its front half, with deep creases, crushed sections, torn lower edges, and an uneven front edge. The front bumper cover is crushed and torn across the center and passenger-side area, while the visible driver-side corner is also torn and separated, exposing internal components near the headlamp. Multiple sections of the front fascia and lower grille area are broken or displaced. Both center kidney grille assemblies are missing, leaving the radiator and other internal front components exposed. The horizontal metal front support and surrounding panel edges show visible crushing and deformation. A large jagged section is missing from the front plastic shroud below the engine cover, with broken edges. The extent of the visible front-end damage means that the condition of underlying structural, cooling, lighting, safety, and mechanical components should be physically inspected before purchase. Inside the vehicle, a beige plastic cupholder/trim component is detached and resting in the open rear center armrest compartment. This is classified as minor interior trim damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW 428i xDrive convertible with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported output of 241 horsepower.
