2013 BMW ACTIVEHYBRID 3

The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, citing severe deformation of the trunk lid, rear body panels, rear window opening, and right rear tail lamp; additional front-end damage is also visible. The rear of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. The left rear quarter panel and adjacent trunk-side metal are sharply creased and pushed inward. The trunk lid is severely crushed and folded, while the metal around the trunk opening is distorted, with uneven edges and a large gap beneath the lid. The right rear quarter and tail-lamp surround are also crushed and folded. The right rear tail lamp is broken, with internal components and green wiring exposed. The rear windshield is missing, and numerous small glass fragments are scattered across the rear seat cushion, seat-belt area, and rear floor. Additional damage is present at the left front corner. The left headlamp lens is fractured or missing, exposing and displacing internal components. The left front bumper and grille-surround area show scuffing, cracking or tearing, and an irregular opening with dark internal components visible. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 BMW 335i sedan with the ActiveHybrid trim, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The VIN data does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: recall 15V520000, concerning software that could make the front side-marker lights inoperative when the parking lights or headlights are on. BMW’s stated remedy was a free software update. Recall completion should be verified for this vehicle. Given the severe rear-body deformation, missing rear windshield, broken lighting, and additional front-end damage, the vehicle requires a comprehensive structural, electrical, lighting, glass, and mechanical inspection before purchase or repair.
