2021 BMW X3 sDrive30i

This 2021 BMW X3 is listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The provided Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports the front-end claim through extensive missing and detached fascia components; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover and central fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator and cooling components, wiring, brackets, and inner front structure. Both headlamp assemblies are absent from their installed positions, and at least one detached headlamp has visibly broken or separated housing and lens areas. The kidney grille is also detached and missing from the vehicle’s front fascia. Additional black plastic trim and liner sections are missing or separated around the bumper-side and front wheel-arch areas. The leading edge of the hood has uneven, raised, and irregular metal deformation at both front corners and around the central opening. The bumper cover and grille are shown separately from the vehicle, confirming that substantial front-end components have been removed or detached. Further inspection is required to determine the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, sensors, restraint systems, suspension, and mechanical components. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until all necessary repairs and safety-system checks have been completed. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a BMW X3 sDrive30i, VIN 5UXTY3C09M9G26152. It is a rear-wheel-drive SUV with a gasoline 1.998-liter four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and an indicated 248 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2021 BMW X3 include recalls involving rearview-camera software, the fuel-tank inlet-check-valve weld, front seat-frame welding, rear cargo-rail attachments, and the engine starter relay or starter assembly. The hybrid-battery recalls listed for the X3 xDrive30e do not correspond to the decoded sDrive30i powertrain. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase, particularly for the starter-related and cargo-rail campaigns.
