2013 BMW 535

The auction record lists a Certificate of Salvage with a “more than 75% damage” designation and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the “FRONT END” classification, but the available photos do not establish that the vehicle has more than 75% damage. The main visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left headlamp has a broken or missing outer lens, with internal components exposed and displaced. The front-left fender is severely crushed around the wheel arch and headlamp area, with torn metal and an opening exposing components behind the panel. The front-left edge of the hood is sharply creased and deformed, with chipped paint along the damaged area. The front-left bumper corner is moderately distorted, with an irregular opening and exposed components behind the cover. Several light scuffs and scratches are visible on the exterior of the left-front door. Inside the vehicle, the steering-wheel rim shows minor abrasion and shiny wear along the gripping surfaces. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 535i sedan manufactured by BMW AG in Dingolfing, Germany. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data lists an output of 300 hp. The VIN decode also identifies front and passenger airbags, knee airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, side airbags, pretensioners, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The condition of these safety systems, as well as the engine, suspension, steering, cooling system, and other components behind the damaged panels, cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked through a comprehensive physical inspection.
