2012 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely creased and deformed around the wheel arch and forward section. The left headlamp assembly is broken, with the lens and surrounding components displaced and internal parts exposed. The left front bumper cover is severely torn and displaced, leaving areas behind the bumper exposed. The left edge of the hood is moderately creased and deformed, with an uneven gap above the damaged corner. A black wheel-arch liner or trim piece is hanging beside the left front tire, and the left lower bumper fog-lamp opening appears empty. The rear beige seat cushions have minor brownish discoloration, localized dark marks, and scuffing, particularly on the right side of the rear seat cushion. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2012 BMW X3 xDrive28i Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a stated output of 240 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW North America in Greer, South Carolina. The decoded restraint equipment includes front driver and passenger airbags, front side airbags, curtain airbags, a driver knee airbag, and front-seat belt pretensioners. The VIN is 5UXWX5C54CL724902. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 17V495000 concerns a potentially improperly welded driver frontal airbag inflator, which could allow metal components to strike occupants if the airbag deploys; the remedy is replacement of the driver front airbag module. Recall 16V333000 concerns lower child-seat anchor bars that may be damaged when used with certain rigid-style European ISOFIX connectors; the remedy is installation of reinforcing brackets. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer.
