2024 BMW X3 SDRIVE30I

The auction record identifies this 2024 BMW X3 as a salvage vehicle and lists “Left Rear” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage code, with substantial damage visible at the left rear bumper and lower trim. Visible collision damage is present at both the front-left and left-rear corners. At the front, the lower left bumper cover is scraped, cracked, and separated at the corner, with displaced lower black trim. The front-left headlamp lens also has multiple fracture-like lines across its lower section. The left rear bumper corner is severely crushed and heavily scuffed, with cracked and separated sections along the lower edge. The left-side black lower bumper/diffuser trim is broken and displaced, with an open gap and loose-looking sections near the left exhaust outlet. The lower red reflector is separated from the surrounding trim, and the adjacent bumper material is scraped and deformed. The provided findings concern visible exterior damage only; no additional mechanical or structural condition has been established. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a BMW X3 sDrive30i SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 248 hp. It was manufactured by BMW AG at the Rosslyn plant in South Africa. The decode also lists standard features including LED low-beam headlamps, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assistance, and lane-departure warning. The supplied NHTSA records list recalls concerning the steering gear, second-row door-locking modules, and engine starter assembly for applicable BMW vehicles in this model range. The steering-gear recall involves possible improper tightening, the door-lock recall concerns rear doors potentially unlocking with a single motion, and the starter recall concerns possible overheating and fire. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase.
