2013 BMW 528I

This 2013 BMW 528i/528xi sedan (VIN: WBAXH5C57DDW16589) is recorded with “Left Rear” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 assessed that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial deformation clearly visible on the left rear quarter panel and adjacent rear door. The most significant damage is to the left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area. The panel is severely crushed, with multiple deep creases, sharp deformation, and an uneven contour extending toward the rear lamp area. The left rear door has moderate damage, including a large irregular dent, folded panel sections, and multiple creases concentrated near its rear and lower areas. Additional visible damage includes light scrape marks on the outer spokes and rim areas of the left rear alloy wheel, along with multiple linear scuffs on the lower left rocker panel and side skirt. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural components, suspension, wheel alignment, lighting, door operation, or mechanical and safety systems. A thorough physical inspection and post-repair alignment and safety-system checks are recommended. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built BMW 528xi sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded data lists an engine output of 241 horsepower and front and side curtain airbags, as well as direct tire-pressure monitoring. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2013 BMW 528i/528i xDrive. These include recalls concerning rear reflex-reflector performance, brake vacuum-pump operation, and a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit and increase fire risk. Recall completion status is not provided, so the VIN should be checked with BMW or NHTSA to confirm whether the required remedies have been performed.
