2017 BMW X3 SDRIVE28I

This 2017 BMW X3 is listed with “Front End” as the auction’s primary-damage claim. The Stage 1 assessment reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grilles, and vehicle-left headlamp are missing, and the front edge of the hood is visibly deformed. The front bumper cover is absent, leaving the reinforcement bar, cooling components, and lower front structure exposed. Both kidney grilles and their surrounding inserts are missing. The vehicle-left headlamp assembly is detached; its housing and lower sections are visibly broken. The hood’s front edge is uneven and deformed, with an irregular gap above the exposed front components. Additional missing or displaced parts include the vehicle-left front bumper-side and wheel-arch trim, as well as a black lower front panel that is hanging below the reinforcement bar. The rear bumper has several light surface scuffs, paint-transfer marks, and small chips along its upper edge. No other damage findings were provided. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. The front-end damage is substantial and will require a detailed inspection of the reinforcement structure, cooling system, mounting points, wiring, steering and suspension components, and any safety-system components before repair or road use. The condition and operation of components not visible in the provided findings cannot be confirmed. NHTSA records include a 2024 recall covering the 2013–2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i involving a possible water-pump electrical-connector short circuit and fire risk; the remedy is inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector, together with installation of a protective shield, as necessary. Other listed recalls concern specific diesel X3 xDrive28d vehicles, an X3 xDrive28i vehicle manufactured on a particular date, or vehicles within specified production ranges. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase.
