2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record lists the vehicle as “PERMIT SALVAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports the stated REAR END classification; however, the PERMIT SALVAGE condition status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The liftgate is significantly deformed inward, with multiple creases across the license-plate recess and lower section. The rear bumper cover and both bumper corner covers are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement beam, mounting structures, wiring, and lower exhaust area. The outer tail-lamp assemblies are missing on both the left and right sides, leaving the lamp cavities and related wiring and mounting components exposed. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Several NHTSA recall campaigns are listed for the 2017 BMW X3 range. The 2024 water-pump electrical-connector recall covers certain 2013–2017 X3 sDrive28i and xDrive28i vehicles. Other listed campaigns concern specific production dates, equipment, or diesel-powered X3 xDrive28d vehicles; the VIN decode identifies this vehicle as gasoline-powered, so those diesel campaigns may not apply. The listed 2017 X3 electronic power-steering recall also applied to one vehicle manufactured on June 7, 2016. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed with BMW using the full VIN, particularly before repair or registration. A physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed structural, electrical, exhaust, lighting, and safety-system damage behind the visibly affected rear components.
