2020 BMW 840I Gran Coupe

The auction record lists this 2020 BMW 840i as “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE,” with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe side damage supports the SIDE code, but the photographs alone cannot confirm the stated greater-than-75-percent damage threshold. The vehicle has extensive collision damage at both the front and visible side/rear areas. At the front corner, the bumper cover and lower fascia are missing, exposing internal mounting and bumper components. The headlamp assembly is also absent. The front fender is heavily crushed and torn around the wheel opening, and the adjacent hood edge is raised and irregular. A localized spiderweb-like crack is visible at the lower corner of the windshield near the front pillar. On the visible side, the rear quarter panel has severe creasing and deformation around the rear door junction and wheel arch, with torn or missing paint and panel material. The rear door is substantially deformed along its forward and lower sections. The lower rocker and side-sill trim are scraped and displaced. The lower rear bumper fascia and corner trim are broken, displaced, and partially missing, with internal mounting areas exposed. The driver steering-wheel airbag and the side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. The vehicle should therefore be assumed to require replacement or repair of the affected restraint-system components, along with diagnostic testing and calibration. The damage may also involve hidden structural, suspension, steering, lighting, sensor, wiring, and braking components that cannot be assessed from these findings alone. A comprehensive inspection on a lift and a full electronic scan are strongly recommended before purchase or repair planning. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2020 BMW 840i Gran Coupe with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The decoded equipment data also identifies standard curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front airbags, forward-collision warning, adaptive driving beam, rear visibility equipment, and other standard safety systems; the current deployment and collision damage mean that their operational condition should not be assumed. NHTSA records provided for this model and year identify recalls involving the rearview-camera system (21V096000), front seat-belt buckle sensors (20V164000), the integrated brake system (21V062000), and starter-motor overheating risks (24V576000 and 25V644000). Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before the vehicle is placed into service.
