2018 BMW X3 M40I

The 2018 BMW X3 is listed by the auction as having a salvage condition and “Rear” as the primary damage classification. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports both the salvage condition and the rear-damage code, with extensive collision damage clearly visible at the rear. The damage is concentrated at the left rear corner and liftgate. The rear windshield is missing, with broken glass fragments remaining around the opening. The liftgate is severely crushed, buckled, folded, and displaced, particularly across the left and center sections, including the license-plate recess. Irregular gaps are visible around the rear opening. The left rear quarter panel is sharply creased and crushed from the tail-lamp area toward the wheel arch. The left tail lamp is broken, with parts of the housing and lens missing and internal components exposed. The rear bumper cover is severely cracked, torn, separated, and displaced, especially on the left side and lower edge, with openings exposing material behind the bumper. The supplied findings document extensive visible exterior collision damage but do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, exhaust, electrical systems, safety systems, drivetrain, or interior. A thorough physical inspection and repair assessment would be required before purchase, including checks for hidden damage, water or glass intrusion, proper liftgate alignment, and the operation of all lighting and rear-visibility equipment. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a BMW X3 M40i sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list multiple recalls applicable to the 2018 BMW X3 range, including recalls involving lane-keeping steering assistance, rear brake calipers, the instrument panel, front seatbacks, rear turn signals, the rear-view camera, the front passenger air bag classification system, instrument-cluster software, rear spoiler attachment, and rear cargo-rail attachments.
