2016 BMW I3 Range Extender

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and identifies “NORMAL WEAR” as the primary damage. However, the provided photo assessment could not confirm the certificate-of-title status, and the visible condition does not fully support the normal-wear classification. The roof-mounted antenna housing appears broken or partially missing, rear bumper scuffing is visible, and multiple dashboard warning indicators are illuminated. The roof antenna housing shows an irregular light-colored component and an exposed-looking section, consistent with a broken or partially missing housing. The rear bumper, particularly around the license-plate recess and lower bumper area, has several light-colored surface scuffs. Inside, the visible leather front seats and center armrest show creasing, discoloration, and general wear; no clear tear is visible. The instrument display shows illuminated check-engine, BRAKE, ABS, PARK, and occupant-restraint warning indicators. The available findings do not establish the cause or severity of these warnings, so diagnostic testing is strongly recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 BMW i3 hatchback/liftback manufactured by BMW AG in Leipzig, Germany. The decoded trim is Range Extender, with electric primary fuel and gasoline secondary fuel information listed. The decoder reports a 0.6-liter, two-cylinder engine specification and 170 horsepower, although it does not provide complete drivetrain or transmission details. Two NHTSA recall records are listed. Recall 17V720000 concerns the frontal air-bag control-unit software on certain 2014–2018 BMW i3 vehicles and relates to increased neck-injury risk for an unbelted small-adult driver in a frontal crash; the stated remedy is a free software update. Recall 17V088000 applies to certain 2014–2017 i3 Range Extender vehicles and concerns possible chafing of the fuel-tank vent line, which could cause a fuel-vapor leak; the stated remedy is inspection, replacement if necessary, and installation of a retaining clip. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
