2015 BMW I3 Range Extender

The auction record lists the vehicle with a “Certificate of Title” condition and “Minor Dent/Scratches” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 found the visible evidence to be partially consistent with the minor dent/scratches claim because light scuffing is present on the rear bumper, although no clear dent was visible. The certificate-of-title condition cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The documented visible damage is minor and cosmetic. Light abrasion and surface scuffing are present on the black lower rear bumper, particularly around the lower corner and edge near the rear wheel. The front black leather seats show creasing, wrinkling, and localized surface sheen consistent with normal use. The instrument display shows a service message and illuminated warning indicators, including an amber engine-shaped symbol and a red restraint-related symbol. The available findings do not establish the cause or confirm the condition of the related systems. Diagnostic scanning and a professional mechanical and safety-system inspection are recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2015 BMW i3 Range Extender hatchback, manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. The supplied NHTSA data identifies electric primary propulsion with a gasoline secondary fuel system, a 0.6-liter two-cylinder engine, and 170 horsepower. The decoder data does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle year and model: recall 17V720000 concerning driver air-bag control-unit software; recall 17V088000 concerning possible fuel-vent-line chafing on i3 Range Extender vehicles; and recall 15V628000 concerning the passenger frontal air-bag inflator module. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the VIN, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before the vehicle is operated.
