2012 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction lists the vehicle’s primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the rear liftgate and lower rear bumper show dents, creases, scuffing, and damaged lower trim. The lower portion of the rear liftgate has broad dents and horizontal creases extending across the panel below the license-plate mounting area. The right side of the lower rear bumper has a distorted white trim section with a loose or hanging piece, and an opening is visible in the adjacent black bumper trim. Scratches and scuff marks are present on the liftgate and lower rear bumper. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffing and paint transfer on the left rear quarter panel near the wheel arch, along with small chips and surface scuffs on the front bumper and lower front fascia. The visible front headlamp lenses have a cloudy, aged appearance consistent with oxidation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2012 BMW X3 xDrive28i Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine rated at 240 horsepower. It was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The provided data does not include transmission details or a mechanical inspection, so the vehicle’s operating condition and any hidden structural or mechanical damage should be verified separately. Two NHTSA recall campaigns are identified for this make, model, and year. Campaign 17V495000 concerns a potentially improperly welded driver frontal air-bag inflator, which may allow the inflator housing to separate during deployment; the listed remedy is replacement of the driver’s front air-bag module. Campaign 16V333000 concerns possible damage to the lower child-seat anchor bars when rigid European-ISOFIX connectors are used; the listed remedy is installation of reinforcing brackets. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer.
