2016 BMW M4

This 2016 BMW M4 is identified by VIN WBS3U9C55GP970370 as a convertible manufactured by BMW M GmbH in Germany. It has a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder gasoline engine. The VIN decode does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. The auction record lists a Certificate of Salvage and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated front-end primary-damage claim; however, the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be verified from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front and near-side front corner. The front bumper assembly is extensively crushed, torn, and detached, with missing or displaced grille and bumper components. Internal parts and wiring are exposed, and several detached grille and bumper pieces are lying separately; some are cracked, bent, or torn. The near-side front fender is heavily folded and torn around the wheel opening, while the hood’s front edge is bent upward and separated from adjacent body panels. The near-side headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with exposed wiring and mounting areas. The near-side front wheel and tire are positioned at an abnormal, sharply outward angle relative to the damaged fender opening. This may indicate damage to steering, suspension, wheel-positioning, or structural components and requires a detailed inspection. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, electrical systems, or underlying structural members. Additional collision damage extends along the near side. The front door, lower side body, and rear quarter panel have broad dents, creases, paint loss, paint transfer, and dark scraping. The rear quarter panel is damaged around the wheel arch. At the rear, the near-side tail lamp is displaced with damaged or missing surrounding trim, and the near-side bumper corner has scraping, chipped paint, and a torn or displaced lower section. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and a lower driver-side dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. The restraint system, seat-belt pretensioners, airbag control module, wiring, and related sensors should be professionally inspected and may require replacement. A comprehensive inspection should also include the front suspension and steering, wheel and tire, frame or unibody structure, cooling and air-conditioning components, lighting, electrical systems, and any mechanical damage concealed behind the body panels. NHTSA records list recall campaigns associated with this vehicle line, including driveshaft connection or slip-joint concerns and a rear-subframe-bolt replacement concern. The listed remedies involve inspection or replacement by BMW at no charge where applicable. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed directly with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase.
