2017 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The vehicle is listed by the auction as Salvage with “Front End” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage at the front-left corner supports the Front End claim; however, the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The hood has multiple deep creases and sharp folds across its left side, with the front edge bent downward and an uneven gap along the fender and headlamp. The left front fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening and headlamp area, and the wheel-arch edge is irregular. The left headlamp assembly has an irregular lower and outer edge, with separation and open gaps between the lamp, hood, bumper, and surrounding panels. The left front bumper cover has extensive scuffing, deformation, displacement, and uneven panel gaps. Fasteners and mounting areas are exposed at the corner. The left fog-lamp opening is empty, and the corresponding lamp is not visible. The extent of the visible front-corner deformation warrants a thorough inspection of the underlying structure, mounting points, lighting system, steering and suspension components, wheel alignment, cooling system, and safety systems before repair or purchase. The findings do not establish the condition of any concealed components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 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. The recall information includes campaign 24V608000, which applies to certain 2013–2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i and xDrive28i vehicles. It concerns a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit and increase fire risk; the remedy involves inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector and installation of a protective shield. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer. Other listed recalls concern specific production dates or diesel-powered X3 xDrive28d vehicles and may not apply to this gasoline vehicle; their applicability should likewise be confirmed by VIN.
