2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i

The auction record lists this 2017 BMW X3 as having a salvage title with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. The visible extensive damage to the vehicle side supports the stated SIDE primary-damage claim. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the side body. Both the front and rear side doors have large depressions, deep creases, and extensive deformation. The rear quarter panel is deeply crushed around the wheel arch, with the wheel-well area exposed. The rear wheel and tire assembly appear displaced from the normal center of the wheel opening, indicating that the rear suspension, wheel, and surrounding body or structural components require detailed physical inspection. The rear bumper cover is detached and hanging away from the body near the damaged corner, with exposed attachment areas. The lower side skirt trim is separated from the body, and a blue-painted exterior trim piece is lying on the ground; its original location cannot be determined. A side mirror housing is broken or missing in sections, exposing internal components. Minor scuffing is also visible on the lower front bumper. The driver’s steering-wheel and lower-dashboard airbags are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays the message, “PARK Parking brake malfunction.” These safety-system and parking-brake warnings require diagnostic testing and inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The photographs do not establish the operating condition of the engine, transmission, electrical systems, suspension, steering, braking system, or vehicle structure. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i with a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The VIN data also lists front, side, curtain, and driver-knee airbag equipment, as well as driver and front-passenger pretensioners; the visible airbag deployment should be addressed during repairs. The recall information includes a 2024 BMW water-pump electrical-connector recall covering certain 2013–2017 X3 sDrive28i vehicles. Recall eligibility and completion should be confirmed by VIN with BMW, and the required inspection or repair should be verified before purchase. Other listed recalls concern diesel X3 variants or an X3 xDrive configuration and do not correspond to the decoded gasoline 4x2 configuration; applicability should nevertheless be confirmed through BMW’s official VIN records.
