2017 BMW X3 SDRIVE28I

Auction records list the vehicle as salvage, with rear damage designated as the primary damage. The Stage 1 photo review reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage designation because the rear bumper fascia and lower rear bumper sections are missing. Stage 1 also notes that salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The identified damage is concentrated at the rear bumper assembly. The rear bumper cover and lower trim are absent across the rear, exposing the bumper reinforcement bar, mounting brackets, and internal bumper components. The rear corner sections of the bumper fascia are also missing, leaving the side mounting structure and internal components exposed. The condition is classified as severe collision damage. The extent of any damage behind the exposed components, including the reinforcement structure, mounting points, body panels, sensors, wiring, and exhaust-related parts, requires a physical inspection. The VIN decodes as a 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i sport utility vehicle with a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured in the United States and is equipped with standard ABS, stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, and a standard rear visibility system. The decoded VIN also lists several driver-assistance features as optional, so the actual equipment should be confirmed on the vehicle. NHTSA records include a recall applicable to certain 2013–2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i vehicles involving a potentially improperly sealed water-pump electrical connector; the remedy consists of inspection or replacement as necessary and installation of a protective shield. A child-seat lower-anchor recall also includes certain 2011–2017 X3 sDrive28i vehicles, subject to production-date and equipment criteria. Other listed X3 recalls concern diesel X3 xDrive28d or 2017 X3 xDrive28i vehicles and may not apply to this gasoline sDrive28i VIN. Recall completion and VIN-specific applicability should be confirmed with BMW before purchase.
