2018 BMW M240I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible damage does not support this claim: the documented damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left side, involving the left rear quarter panel, left door, rocker panel, and left rear bumper area. The left rear quarter panel has broad deformation, pronounced denting and creasing below the fuel-filler door and ahead of the left rear lamp, multiple scrape marks, extensive paint abrasion, and exposed darker material along the lower section. The lower rear portion of the left door is also deformed and creased, with several scrape marks and paint damage near the lower edge. Scraping, deformation, and chipped paint are visible on the left rocker panel and lower side skirt beneath the door and forward of the left rear wheel. The left rear bumper cover has a dark linear scuff and additional light scraping near and below the left tail lamp. The documented damage is classified as moderate collision damage to the quarter panel, door, and rocker area, with minor scuffing and scraping on the bumper cover. A physical inspection is recommended to assess possible damage to underlying panels, mounting points, wheel-arch components, suspension, and alignment; these areas are not confirmed by the provided findings. The VIN decodes as a 2018 BMW M240i coupe manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. It is listed with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive information not specified in the decode, and 18-inch front and rear wheels. NHTSA records list two recalls for this model and year. Recall 18V465000 concerns incorrect crankshaft-sensor firmware, which may cause the engine to stall; BMW’s stated remedy is free crankshaft-sensor replacement. Recall 17V719000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may prevent certain displays or warning symbols from illuminating; the stated remedy is a free software update. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
