2018 BMW 430I Gran Coupe

The auction records list this vehicle as having a salvage title, with front-end damage identified as the primary damage. The photo-based assessment reports that the visible hood deformation and irregular front hood gap support some front-end damage; however, the photos do not show extensive damage to the front bumper, grille, or headlamps. Salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The hood has localized moderate deformation near the leading edge and headlamp area. It appears raised and creased, with an uneven gap above the grille and headlamp and an additional crease near the front corner. The rear bumper has multiple light-colored horizontal scuffs and surface abrasions across the center and lower section. A round opening is also visible to the right of center, with no insert present. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2018 BMW 430i Gran Coupe sedan 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. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this make, model, and year: recall 17V507000 concerns the front seat-belt emergency locking retractors, which may fail to restrain an occupant properly in a crash. BMW’s stated remedy is inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the affected front seat-belt assemblies at no charge. The recall repair status for this vehicle should be verified with BMW or through the vehicle’s service records.
