2018 BMW I3 Range Extender S

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. However, the Stage 1 photo review found no clear front-end collision damage, such as crushing, cracking, or missing components, and concluded that the claim is not supported by the visible exterior evidence. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic scuffing. Several light surface marks are present on the lower front bumper corner and across the front bumper cover. Light pale paint scuffing is also visible along the lower edge of the front-left wheel-arch area. No other damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 BMW i3 Range Extender S hatchback, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The decoded powertrain is listed as electric with a two-cylinder, 0.6-liter gasoline engine, automatic single-speed transmission, and a primary electric fuel type with gasoline secondary fuel type. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 18V652000 concerns certain BMW portable TurboCord chargers, which may present an electrical-shock or fire hazard if the charger’s capacitors fail. Recall 19V310000 concerns a circuit-board issue in the Electric Motor Electronics module that could shut down high-voltage power and cause a loss of propulsion. Recall 17V720000 concerns the frontal air-bag control-unit software and the risk of increased neck injury to certain unbelted small-adult drivers during a frontal crash. The supplied information does not confirm whether the recall remedies have been completed; completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
