2013 BMW 535I

The vehicle is listed at auction as having Salvage condition and Rear primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear primary-damage claim: the rear bumper cover and both rear taillights are missing, with rear bumper components exposed. Stage 1 also notes that the general salvage status cannot be independently confirmed from the photos alone. The rear bumper cover is detached and shown separately from the vehicle. The bumper reinforcement and internal mounting components are exposed, and both rear taillight assemblies are missing, leaving their mounting cavities open. The lower rear bumper trim or diffuser is separated and hanging below the rear body. Electrical wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging in the right rear bumper area. The provided findings document significant damage and missing components at the rear of the vehicle. They do not establish the condition of concealed body, structural, electrical, or mechanical components, so a thorough physical inspection and functional assessment would be required before purchase or repair.
