2017 BMW 440I

The 2017 BMW 440i is listed by the auction with a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition designation and “HAIL” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reported that the roof, hood, and trunk/decklid appear largely smooth, without the concentrated pattern of numerous small shallow dents typically expected from hail; accordingly, the visible evidence does not support the HAIL claim. The “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition cannot be confirmed from vehicle photographs. The documented visible damage includes a moderate spiderweb-like crack in the lower-left area of the windshield. Minor cosmetic marks are also noted on the left rear quarter panel near the fuel door and on the left lower rear bumper. The quarter-panel mark appears as an irregular light-colored paint mark, while the bumper mark is described as a light-colored vertical scuff. According to the VIN decoding, this is a BMW 440i coupe with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a four-seat, two-door configuration. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2017 BMW 440i involving seat-mounted side-airbag inflator initiators that may fail to ignite during a crash. The listed remedies involve replacement of the airbag modules at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
