2018 BMW 430I GRAN COUPE

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage condition and a Left Front primary-damage designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated Left Front claim, based on severe deformation and breakage at the left front corner. However, the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left front corner has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely creased and deformed above the left headlamp and fender, with uneven edges and enlarged panel gaps. The left front fender is heavily crushed around the wheel opening, with a large irregular opening exposing dark inner components. The left front bumper cover is torn and fragmented, with missing sections, exposed internal components, and a lower edge that is separated and hanging outward. The left headlamp assembly is displaced and partially obstructed by broken surrounding fascia, with internal components visible. The wheel-well liner and adjacent trim are torn and partly missing, while the front section of the left side skirt has separated from the body. Dark scuff and transfer marks are also visible on the upper left area of the hood. Inside the vehicle, the driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. The instrument cluster displays a “Restraint system” message along with illuminated restraint, ABS, steering, and other warning indicators. These findings indicate that the restraint and other vehicle systems require thorough diagnostic inspection and repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 BMW 430i Gran Coupe, identified as a four-door passenger car with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. Recall status was not checked.
