2022 BMW X3 M40i

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is hail. However, the visible roof, hood, and rear hatch surfaces appear largely smooth, with no visible dense pattern of small shallow dents on the horizontal panels. Based on the photo review, Stage 1 found that the hail-damage claim is not supported by the available images. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear windshield glass is missing, with jagged residual glass visible around portions of the rear-window opening. This is a severe safety-related condition and will require replacement of the glass and inspection of the surrounding window frame, hatch area, trim, wiring, and rear safety systems before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The provided findings do not establish whether additional damage is present. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 BMW X3 M40i sport utility vehicle, built in the United States. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Factory safety equipment listed by NHTSA includes front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rear visibility system, and parking assist. NHTSA records include several recalls associated with 2022 BMW X3 vehicles or applicable X3 variants. Recalls 24V-534 and 24V-764 concern the rear cargo-rail attachment bolts on X3 M40i models; 24V-764 is identified as a subsequent repair for vehicles previously addressed under 24V-534. Additional records, including 25V-636, 26V-056, and 26V-438, concern potential starter overheating or fire risks on certain X3 vehicles. The provided recall data does not confirm the completion status or exact applicability for this VIN, so the current recall status should be verified with BMW or NHTSA before purchase.
