2021 BMW M340I

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear bumper damage supports the reported rear-end damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented damage is concentrated on the rear bumper cover. The center-right and lower-right areas show black scuffing and irregular impact damage. Near the exhaust opening, the lower-right bumper cover has a jagged opening with missing or displaced material, exposing dark components. The damage is assessed as moderate collision damage. Further inspection should confirm the condition of the bumper reinforcement, exhaust-area components, parking sensors, rear camera, body structure, and any concealed mounting points. According to the VIN data, this is a 2021 BMW M340i sedan with a 2.997-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, rated at 382 hp, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The decoded drivetrain is not specified.
