2022 BMW X3 M40I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing the missing and detached front bumper and grille components, exposed front-end parts, and hood deformation. The front end has severe damage. The center and lower bumper cover is missing, with detached sections hanging below the fascia and wiring and mounting components exposed. The outer kidney-grille inserts are also absent, leaving the radiator and internal grille support visible. Both lower corners of the front fascia are separated or damaged, with broken or missing trim and exposed internal components. The hood has moderate deformation, including creasing around the center emblem area and both front edges, along with several linear surface marks. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting structure and wiring exposed. Damage is also present along the left side. The left front door has a shallow crease, while the left rear door has a broad, pronounced dent with multiple creases across the lower and central panel. The left rocker-panel trim is missing, exposing mounting holes and the underlying rocker area. The VIN decodes as a 2022 BMW X3 M40i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and an indicated 382 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The provided recall data includes two cargo-rail attachment recalls that specifically list the 2018–2022 BMW X3 M40i: recalls 24V534000 and 24V764000.
