2018 BMW X3 sDrive30i

The auction record designates the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible damage to the hood, front bumper, lower bumper trim, and front headlamp supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The documented damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The left headlamp lens has multiple irregular fracture-like lines. The black lower bumper trim on the left side is separated and protruding downward/outward, and the adjacent painted bumper surface has dark scuffing and scraped areas. On the right side, the hood has a pronounced dent with a sharp crease above the headlamp, while the lower bumper fascia has separated and broken trim sections, an uneven opening, and exposed mounting edges. Minor dark scuff marks are also visible on the left side of the rear bumper. The available findings do not document mechanical, electrical, suspension, airbag, or structural damage. A physical inspection should nevertheless verify the condition and mounting of the headlamp and bumper components, the hood alignment and latch area, and any systems affected by the front-end impact before purchase or road use.
