2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title and lists “SIDE” as the primary damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible side body damage supports the auction’s unverified “SIDE” classification, while the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage is concentrated along one side of the vehicle. Multiple moderate dents, creases, and scraped areas affect the side doors, lower side panel, and rear wheel-arch area. The front side door has a broad inward dent with pronounced creasing across its middle and lower sections. The front bumper cover has extensive black scuffing and visible separation at the outer corner near the wheel opening; a white section in this area appears loose or partially detached. The front fender also has a broad scraped area with surface deformation around the wheel arch. In addition, the lower rear bumper corner has minor linear scuff marks. Inside, the outer lower bolster of the front driver’s seat shows pronounced abrasion and worn upholstery, with lighter material visible. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i SUV with a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. No factory options were provided in the decode. The supplied recall records include campaigns affecting certain 2017 BMW X3 variants, including recalls involving the child-seat lower anchors and the engine-cooling water pump. Other listed campaigns apply to diesel X3 xDrive28d or specific xDrive28i vehicles and may not apply to this sDrive28i. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed directly with BMW using the VIN. The findings provided document exterior and upholstery damage only; they do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, electrical systems, suspension, wheel alignment, airbags, or hidden structural areas. A thorough mechanical, underside, structural, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase.
