2013 BMW 528I

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition and “Normal Wear & Tear” as the primary damage classification. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the photos show only minor cosmetic scuffing on the lower front bumper, consistent with the stated “Normal Wear & Tear” classification. Clear title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The only recorded damage is several dark, linear surface scuff marks on the near-side corner of the lower front bumper. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. No other findings were provided. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 528xi sedan, built by BMW AG in Dingolfing, Germany. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The supplied vehicle description identifies it as a BMW 528i; the decoded VIN specifies 528xi, so this model designation should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation. Four applicable NHTSA recalls were identified. Campaigns 13V454000 and 14V627000 concern the brake vacuum pump and the potential for reduced power assistance. Campaign 15V188000 concerns rear reflex reflectors that may not provide sufficient visibility. Campaign 24V608000 concerns the electrical connector for the engine water pump, which may short circuit and increase fire risk. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW or an authorized BMW dealer using the VIN before purchase.
