2016 BMW 535I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Side.” Stage 1’s photo review found this claim to be partially supported by visible scuffing on the left front door, but no substantial left-side collision damage was clearly visible. The documented damage appears cosmetic and minor. The left headlight lens is noticeably cloudy and yellowed compared with the opposite headlight. Dark abrasion marks and paint scuffing are visible on the lower outer corner of the left front bumper. Several dark vertical and short horizontal scuff marks appear on the left front door near its front edge. The rear bumper has multiple light horizontal scratches and areas of paint abrasion across its upper central section. A physical inspection is recommended to check for any damage not visible in the provided findings. The VIN decodes as a 2016 BMW 535i four-door sedan, built by BMW AG in Germany. It has a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data lists 300 horsepower. Drive type, transmission, and factory options were not provided. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year and vehicle line. Recall 15V718000 concerns a potentially bent left-rear-seat lower child-seat anchor that may prevent secure engagement of both anchors. Recall 16V914000 concerns seat-mounted side-airbag inflator initiators that may fail to ignite, preventing deployment of the affected airbags. The buyer should confirm with BMW whether both recalls were completed for this specific vehicle.
