2020 BMW M4

The auction records designate this 2020 BMW M4 as having a Certificate of Salvage and list FRONT END as the primary damage. The visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage code; however, the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be confirmed from the provided photographs. The front-left side and front end have severe collision damage. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are deeply crushed, with torn edges and an irregular opening. The front-left door has multiple broad dents and sharp creases, including deformation near the front edge and door-handle area. The hood is extensively folded and creased across the front-left and center sections, and its front edge is uneven above the grille and headlamp area. The front bumper is cracked and torn, with open gaps, separated lower trim, and a hanging component at the left corner. Metal panels around the front-left headlamp and upper engine-bay area are folded, sharply creased, and irregularly positioned. A separate carbon-fiber aerodynamic exterior piece is lying on the floor, with visible abrasion and damaged-looking edges. Several restraint systems are visibly deployed. The steering-wheel airbag is deployed, a front-seat side airbag area is torn open with internal components exposed, and the right-side curtain airbag is deployed along the roofline and side window. The condition of other airbags, pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and the vehicle’s structural and mechanical systems cannot be determined from these findings. A thorough structural, suspension, steering, cooling-system, electrical, and diagnostic inspection will be required before repair or operation. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2020 BMW M4 coupe manufactured by BMW M GmbH in Germany. It has rear-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 425 hp, and left-hand drive. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 19V352000 concerns potentially improperly folded knee airbag assemblies, which may not deploy as intended; the remedy is replacement of the knee airbag modules. Recall 20V666000 concerns fuel injectors that may lack a vibration-damping component, potentially causing a fuel-line connection to leak and increasing fire risk; the remedy involves inspection and, where necessary, replacement of the injectors and fuel rail. Completion of both recall remedies should be verified with BMW using the VIN, particularly given the visible collision-related airbag deployment.
