2021 BMW X3 sDrive30i

This 2021 BMW X3 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation: substantial deformation is present on the left front and left rear doors, and the left rocker-panel molding is missing. The left rear door has severe damage, including a broad inward depression and multiple sharp creases through the middle and lower sections. The lower door edge and adjacent panel area are also deformed. The left front door has moderate inward deformation and creasing near its rear edge and along the lower section. The exterior rocker-panel molding is absent along the left-side doors, leaving mounting holes and fastener locations exposed. Minor dark scuffing and localized paint loss are visible on the left front bumper corner near the headlamp and lower intake. The supplied VIN decodes the vehicle as a BMW X3 sDrive30i Sport Utility Vehicle with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a five-seat configuration. It was manufactured in the United States. The supplied NHTSA recall records include recalls affecting applicable 2021 X3 variants for the rearview-camera system, fuel-tank welds, seat-frame welding, rear cargo-rail attachments, and the engine starter. The records indicate free dealer remedies for these issues; however, completion status for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA. The hybrid-battery recalls listed for the X3 xDrive30e do not correspond to the decoded sDrive30i configuration. Because the available findings concern visible exterior damage only, a physical inspection is recommended to assess the doors, rocker-panel structure, hinges, locks, side-impact components, wiring, paint quality, wheel alignment, and any damage beneath the exterior panels before purchase.
