2019 BMW I3 Range Extender

The auction lists the primary damage as **Left Front**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with abrasions and separated or broken trim visible in the left-front bumper area. The 2019 BMW i3 has moderate damage to the left-front bumper lower corner. Multiple light-colored scrape marks and surface abrasions are visible on the bumper and adjacent lower lip. The outer bumper edge and vertical trim area have separated edges, a visible gap, and a loose section hanging near the lower corner. The left-front exterior door handle is missing. Its housing is open, and a black component is hanging below the opening. A minor narrow, light-colored scratch is also visible on the left-central area of the hood. According to the VIN decode, this is a rear-wheel-drive, five-door BMW i3 Range Extender hatchback built in Germany. It is identified as a plug-in hybrid with an electric powertrain and a 0.6-liter, two-cylinder gasoline range-extender engine, paired with a single-speed automatic transmission. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign **19V599000**, concerning the hybrid propulsion system. A circuit-board problem in the Electric Motor Electronics module may shut down high-voltage electrical power and cause a loss of propulsion, increasing crash risk. BMW’s stated remedy is replacement of the EME module free of charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with BMW using the VIN. The visible damage should be repaired, and the bumper mounting, door-handle mechanism, associated wiring, and vehicle systems should be physically inspected before purchase.
