2024 BMW X3 sDrive30i SA

The auction record identifies this vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and detached front-end components support the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and kidney grille assemblies are missing, exposing the cooling assemblies, radiator area, internal mounting points, and other front-end components. One headlamp assembly is also absent, leaving an open cavity with mounting components visible. The front wheel-arch flare and adjacent front-corner trim are missing, as are lower front-side trim panels around the rocker and bumper-side area. The hood has a visible dent and crease on its front portion, on the right side of the image. A white bumper cover and multiple black and metallic front-end components are lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. The VIN decodes as a 2024 BMW X3 sDrive30i SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 248 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa.
