2017 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The auction listing identifies the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and lists “Hail” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the “Clear” designation is contradicted by the visible cracked windshield and numerous hood dents. Stage 1 also considers the hail claim supported by the numerous small, shallow dents concentrated on the visible horizontal hood; the roof was only partly visible under glare, and the trunk was not visible. The hood has numerous small, shallow, rounded dents across the central and front sections. No obvious paint chipping is visible at the dent locations. The front windshield has multiple impact points with radiating cracks and branching fracture lines across the lower and central areas, representing severe damage. A small rectangular cover is missing from the front bumper below the headlamp. Inside, multiple light linear scuffs are visible on the glossy center-console trim around the keys. 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. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA recall records include a 2024 recall covering certain 2013–2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i vehicles for a water-pump electrical connector that may short circuit and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector and installation of a protective shield. Other records concern specific production dates or diesel X3 variants and may not apply to this gasoline vehicle. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before purchase. The damaged windshield, hood dents, and missing bumper cover should also be professionally inspected and repaired.
