2017 BMW I3 i3 Range Extender

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title. The auction’s primary-damage code is “MECHANICAL.” This classification cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the available photos and requires a physical inspection. The visible damage is concentrated at the front of the 2017 BMW i3. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing, exposing the aluminum reinforcement bar, cooling components, mounting structures, and wiring. Both headlamp assemblies are also absent, leaving open mounting areas and exposed components at both front corners. The hood has a raised, irregular leading edge with visible gaps and an uneven contour. Both front fenders are distorted around their front corners, with torn or missing material, irregular edges, and exposed mounting areas. Additional front-end plastic components, brackets, and wiring are exposed, and some parts are hanging below the front structure. A detached blue bumper panel and several black trim and component pieces are shown lying beside the vehicle. Light surface scuffing is visible on the blue near-side front and rear door panels. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive 2017 BMW i3 hatchback with the Range Extender configuration. It is identified as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with an electric drive system and a 0.6-liter two-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic single-speed transmission, four seats, and production in Germany. The decode lists standard ABS, stability control, traction control, dynamic brake support, adaptive driving beam, and curtain, front, knee, and side airbags. NHTSA records show three applicable recall campaigns: campaign 17V720000 concerning driver air-bag control-unit software, campaign 17V088000 concerning possible fuel-vent-line chafing on i3 Range Extender vehicles, and campaign 16V914000 concerning seat-mounted side-airbag inflator initiators. The repair status for this vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer. Given the extent of the front-end damage and the mechanical-damage classification, a comprehensive inspection should include the exposed cooling and wiring components, lighting and restraint systems, structural mounting points, high-voltage system, Range Extender fuel system, and overall vehicle operation before purchase.
