2015 BMW M3

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle is a 2015 BMW M3 sedan, VIN WBS3C9C5XFP804542, manufactured by BMW M GmbH in Germany. Factory data identifies a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine, with a listed output of 425 hp. Visible damage includes a cracked, separated, and hanging lower corner of the front bumper cover. The front left outer fender is missing, leaving the wheel-arch area and inner components exposed. The left exterior mirror is missing or broken, with its internal assembly and wiring exposed. Lower rocker-panel or side-skirt trim is absent beneath the doors, and additional body trim and outer-panel material are missing around the front left fender-to-door area, exposing brackets and wiring. The left rear quarter panel, ahead of the tail lamp, has an irregular scraped and gouged area with light-colored paint transfer. A side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the left roofline above the rear seating area. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, suspension, steering, drivetrain, electrical, or restraint-system components beyond what is visible. NHTSA records list three recalls for the 2015–2017 BMW M3 range. Recall 16V653000 concerns possible reuse of rear subframe bolts during prior service, recall 15V782000 concerns an insufficiently greased driveshaft slip joint on vehicles within specified production dates, and recall 24V288000 concerns the side/window airbag inflator. Applicability and completion status for this specific VIN should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer. Given the deployed curtain airbag, the restraint system requires professional inspection and repair before the vehicle is considered safe to operate.
