2016 BMW I3 Range Extender

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Certificate of Title” and the primary damage as “Normal Wear.” Stage 1 reports that the photos do not verify certificate-of-title status. No clear collision damage is visible, but the visible cosmetic scuffing and multiple illuminated dashboard warning indicators mean that the “Normal Wear” classification is not fully supported. Minor cosmetic scuffing is visible on both rear quarter panels. The left rear quarter panel has several small dark vertical marks near the rear hatch area, while the right rear quarter panel has small dark marks below the rear side-window area. The instrument display shows multiple illuminated warning indicators, including steering, tire-pressure, stability-control-off, brake, ABS, parking-brake, check-engine, seat-belt, and airbag symbols, together with a service message. These warnings require diagnostic scanning and a thorough mechanical and electrical inspection before purchase. Their presence may indicate faults beyond normal cosmetic wear. The VIN decodes as a 2016 BMW i3 Range Extender hatchback built by BMW AG in Leipzig, Germany. The available factory data identifies it as an electric vehicle with a secondary gasoline system, a 0.6-litre two-cylinder engine, and 170 horsepower. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 17V720000 concerns the frontal air-bag control-unit software and the potential for increased neck injury risk for certain unbelted small-adult drivers in a frontal crash; the remedy is a software update. Recall 17V088000 applies to i3 Range Extender vehicles and concerns possible chafing of the fuel-tank vent line, which could cause a fuel-vapour leak and increase fire risk; the remedy involves inspection, replacement if necessary, and installation of a retaining clip. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW or an authorised dealer.
