2013 BMW 528I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the windshield is extensively cracked, a front headlamp lens is cracked, and the front bumper has visible scuffing. The most significant visible damage is to the front windshield. Extensive spiderweb cracking radiates from an impact area near the upper center-right portion, with multiple long cracks extending across the glass. The front left headlamp, viewed from the front, has a jagged crack across its outer lens. The painted front bumper has multiple light scuff marks on the right side and lower center area. Several thin scratches and light abrasion marks are also visible on the right half of the hood. The instrument cluster displays “Increased battery discharge,” indicating a battery or charging-system concern that should be diagnosed. This message does not by itself identify the failed component. The VIN decoder identifies the vehicle as a 2013 BMW 528xi sedan, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The decoded specifications include a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 241 horsepower. The VIN is WBAXH5C55DDW16526.
