2024 BMW X3 SDRIVE30I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Side.” This is an auction classification and should be treated as an unverified claim. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the left front and rear doors and the left rocker area show clear deformation and abrasion. The left front door has broad inward deformation with multiple sharp creases and light-colored abrasion marks across its lower and middle sections. The left rear door also has several dents, creases, and abrasion marks concentrated in the lower and middle areas. The left side sill/rocker panel below the doors is severely crushed and creased. Its lower trim is damaged, and sections of the underlying mounting area are exposed. The rocker-panel damage may involve structural or mounting components beneath the visible exterior panels. A physical inspection is recommended to check the door operation, hinges and latches, side-impact protection, rocker structure, floor area, suspension and alignment, wiring, and any concealed damage. The provided findings do not establish the vehicle’s mechanical or operational condition. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 BMW X3 sDrive30i SUV, manufactured in Greer, South Carolina.
