2022 BMW 430I Gran Coupe

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title and lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reported that the visible front-end damage supports the auction damage code; however, the salvage-title status could not be confirmed from the photos. The front end shows moderate to severe collision damage. The hood is folded upward and irregular along the front edge and left side, with an uneven gap above the left headlamp. The front-left fender is creased and deformed around the headlamp and hood junction. The front-left headlamp lens and surrounding assembly are cracked, fragmented, and displaced. The left corner and lower section of the front bumper cover are severely torn and separated, with missing sections and exposed components behind it. The driver steering-wheel, passenger-dashboard, and roofline airbags are visibly deployed. The vehicle should therefore receive a comprehensive inspection of the restraint system, structural components, wiring, cooling and front-end systems, and all related electronic modules before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this as a 2022 BMW 430i Gran Coupe sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. The decoded vehicle data also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and front and side/curtain airbags. NHTSA records list five recalls associated with this model and model year: campaign 22V267000 for sunroof control-unit programming; 23V118000 for body-control-module software that may affect automatic door locking; 23V584000 for seat-belt warning software; 25V636000 for a potentially overheating starter relay; and 26V056000 for a starter that may overheat and catch fire. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase.
