2022 BMW X3 M40I

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, noting substantial damage to the headlamp, hood edge, fender, bumper trim, and grille area. The front end has severe damage. Both kidney-grille inserts are missing, leaving the radiator surfaces and internal bracing visible through the openings. The headlamp assembly at the front corner shown on the left side of the image is broken open, with internal components exposed. The adjacent hood edge is creased and has an uneven raised gap, while the front fender is visibly creased and deformed around the headlamp and wheel arch. A lower section of bumper trim or opening is also missing or broken, exposing internal components. Additional body damage is visible on the side shown. The front door has a broad inward dent with several creases across the lower and middle sections. The rear door has a shallow irregular depression near the handle, and a small light-colored scuff or paint-transfer mark is present on the lower-middle area of the front door. The restraint system requires significant attention. White curtain/side airbags are visibly deployed along the front roofline and beside the front seating area, and another side-curtain airbag is deployed above the rear seating area. The instrument cluster displays the message “Passenger restraint system.” A complete inspection of the airbags, seat belts, pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and related control modules is recommended before considering the vehicle roadworthy.
