2026 BMW X3 30 XDRIVE

The auction lists the vehicle as **Salvage**, with **Rear** recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear damage supports the auction’s unverified “Rear” damage code; however, the salvage status cannot be confirmed from the photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated at the rear. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the rear body panel and internal mounting areas. Both rear lamp assemblies are absent, with their mounting recesses and wiring exposed. The rear liftgate window glass is also missing, leaving an open aperture. The upper edges of the liftgate around this opening are visibly deformed, while the body panels around the rear lamp openings and liftgate opening show irregular edges and exposed mounting points. The detached rear bumper cover has additional light scuffs and scratches across its dark lower sections. Minor cosmetic damage is also visible at the front lower bumper and lower grille edge in the form of small paint chips and surface scuffing. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2026 BMW X3 30 xDrive SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 hp, and standard safety equipment including forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The vehicle was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. NHTSA recall 25V857000 applies to certain 2025–2026 BMW X3 vehicles for a steering control module software issue that may cause unexpected steering-wheel movement while the vehicle is stationary. The remedy is a free software update, either over the air or through a BMW dealer. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or registration. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, particularly of the rear body structure, lamp and bumper mounting areas, exposed wiring, liftgate, glazing, and related safety systems.
