2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE-REBUILT SALVAGE” designation, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible damage to the left rear quarter panel supports the stated SIDE damage claim; however, the rebuilt-salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented exterior damage is concentrated on the left rear side. The quarter panel above and forward of the rear wheel arch has a moderate concave deformation with a pronounced vertical crease extending toward the wheel-arch area. Light-colored and gray paint scuffing is also visible on the damaged quarter panel and wheel-arch area. Repair requirements for the panel, paint finish, and any underlying structural or wheel-area components should be confirmed by a physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i SUV with a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. It was manufactured in the United States. The available factory data lists a 241-horsepower engine and seating for five. NHTSA records include several recalls associated with 2017 BMW X3 variants. The diesel-specific EGR and high-pressure fuel-pump recalls do not correspond to this gasoline vehicle, and the electronic power-steering recall is listed for an X3 xDrive28i rather than this decoded sDrive28i. Recalls involving certain X3 sDrive28i vehicles include the child-seat lower-anchor reinforcement campaign and the water-pump electrical-connector campaign. Recall applicability and completion should be verified directly by VIN with BMW, particularly because the available data does not establish the vehicle’s manufacturing date or repair history.
