2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The 2017 BMW X3 is listed with an auction condition of “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and an auction primary-damage code of “SIDE.” The visible side deformation, including the heavily damaged left front door and rocker area, supports the auction’s SIDE classification. The certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed from vehicle photographs. Visible exterior damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door has severe deformation, with a large irregular depression and multiple creases across the lower and middle sections. The lower door edge and adjacent seam have uneven contours. The left rocker panel below the front door also shows pronounced deformation and creasing, and the exterior side-sill trim is missing along a substantial section below the front and rear doors. The underlying sill area and mounting points are exposed. In addition, the rear edge of the left front fender has a moderate dent and crease near the door gap. A small shallow dent and light surface scuff are visible on the front door on the photographed side. The interior finding is limited to minor wear on the brown leather driver-seat cushion, including creasing and localized wear around the front and side bolster areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records provided for this vehicle include recalls relating to the electric power steering system, child-seat lower anchors, and the engine cooling-system water pump. The water-pump recall covers 2013–2017 X3 sDrive28i and xDrive28i vehicles. The steering and child-seat recalls have additional manufacturing-date or configuration requirements, so applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with BMW. The other listed recalls concern diesel X3 xDrive28d vehicles and do not correspond to the decoded gasoline powertrain. Recall completion should be confirmed before purchase. Because the rocker panel and door structure are substantially deformed, a physical inspection is recommended to assess the sill structure, door operation, hinges, locks, wiring, adjacent suspension and alignment components, and the quality and extent of any prior repairs. This report is based only on the supplied findings and does not confirm mechanical condition, roadworthiness, or hidden damage.
