2021 BMW M340I

The auction records list the vehicle as having a “Bill of Sale” condition and “Rear” primary damage. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified rear-damage claim, with extensive damage concentrated at the left rear quarter, trunk, tail lamp, and rear bumper. Stage 1 also states that the Bill of Sale title or condition status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible damage is severe. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are deeply crushed and sharply deformed around the rear lamp, with internal components exposed. The left rear bodywork is folded and crushed behind the rear door, extending into the trunk and tail-lamp area. The trunk lid is heavily creased and deformed on the left side and lower edge, with irregular gaps around the trunk opening. The left rear tail-lamp assembly is broken and partially missing, with internal components visible. The rear bumper cover is heavily deformed, torn, and partially detached. Sections of the lower edge and left corner are missing or displaced, and wiring or other internal components are hanging below the vehicle. The rear windshield has multiple cracks through its lower-left area. A separate dark exterior panel is also shown extensively crushed, torn, and fractured; its original position on the vehicle cannot be identified from the available finding. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 BMW M340i sedan with a 2.997-litre gasoline six-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a listed output of 382 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Mexico. The drivetrain is not identified in the supplied decode.
