2018 BMW X3 sDrive30i

This 2018 BMW X3 is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage at the front-left corner supports the FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated on the left front. The front-left bumper cover is torn and broken, with a large open section and exposed components. The front-left headlamp assembly is visibly broken or absent, leaving dark openings and exposed internal areas. The left front fender is extensively crushed and creased around the wheel opening, and the left-front edge of the hood is bent and irregular. Additional collision damage is visible along the left side. The left front door has a large dent with multiple sharp creases, while the left rocker-panel trim and side-step/running-board area are detached and hanging away from the body, with broken or missing sections. A white curtain-airbag fabric is hanging from the roof-side interior beside the driver position, indicating visible curtain-airbag deployment. The rear center seatback upholstery also has a long, narrow tear or cut. The VIN decodes as a 2018 BMW X3 sDrive30i Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive listed in the specifications, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and seating for five. The vehicle was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The decoded safety equipment includes first- and second-row curtain airbags, front and side airbags, knee airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, and a standard rear-visibility system. NHTSA records identify multiple recalls applicable to 2018 BMW X3 sDrive30i vehicles. These include recalls involving the active lane-keeping steering-assist hand-detection function, rear brake-caliper performance, the instrument-panel casing near the passenger airbag, front seatback frames, rear turn-signal operation, backup-camera software, the front-passenger occupant-classification system, instrument-cluster software, rear-spoiler attachment, and rear cargo-rail attachment bolts. The cargo-rail issue appears in two later recalls, with the newer campaign stating that vehicles previously repaired under the earlier campaign require the new repair. Completion of all recall repairs should be verified by an authorized BMW dealer using the VIN. The visible damage indicates that substantial body, lighting, exterior-trim, and restraint-system repairs will be required. The condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, wheel and tire, cooling system, wiring, engine, transmission, and other mechanical components cannot be determined from the supplied findings. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase.
