2014 BMW 528I

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition and “Normal Wear & Tear” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible exterior is generally intact, but the cosmetic scratches and scuffs on the hood do not support an unqualified clear-condition claim. The hood damage is considered consistent with normal wear and tear. An illuminated check-engine warning was also visible in the instrument cluster; its cause cannot be confirmed from the available photos and should be diagnosed before purchase. The documented cosmetic damage consists of multiple fine linear scratches and scuff marks on the painted front hood surface around and below the BMW emblem. The damage is classified as minor and cosmetic. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 BMW 528i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Dingolfing, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. NHTSA records list a 2024 recall for applicable 2014 5 Series Sedan vehicles involving the driver-side frontal air-bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment. A separate 2024 recall covers certain 2012–2016 BMW 528i and 528i xDrive vehicles because an improperly sealed water-pump electrical connector may short circuit and increase fire risk. The recall remedies involve replacement of the air-bag inflator and inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector, as applicable. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
