2019 BMW I3 Range Extender S

The auction lists the vehicle with a salvage title certificate and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. The visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s front-end damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the provided images. The 2019 BMW i3 has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front. Large sections of the front bumper cover, lower fascia, grille area, and passenger-side corner are missing, detached, or broken, exposing components behind the bumper and the front reinforcement member. The fascia around the visible headlamp is cracked, torn, and separated. The hood’s leading edge is bent upward and deformed, with scuff and scrape marks, and the adjacent front fender edge is creased and displaced with damaged or missing trim. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging from the steering wheel. The instrument display shows “Brake system: Drive moderately,” along with multiple warning indicators. The underlying cause of the brake-system warning cannot be determined from the available findings and requires diagnostic testing and physical inspection. Given the deployed airbag, exposed front components, and brake warning, the vehicle should undergo a comprehensive safety and mechanical inspection before any road use. The NHTSA VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built, rear-wheel-drive 2019 BMW i3 hatchback with automatic transmission and a plug-in hybrid configuration using electric power with a gasoline range-extender engine. The decoded trim is Range Extender S, with seating for four. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this make, model, and year: campaign 19V599000, involving the hybrid propulsion system. A circuit-board problem in the Electric Motor Electronics module may shut down high-voltage power and cause loss of propulsion. BMW’s stated remedy was replacement of the EME module free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer.
