2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i

This 2014 BMW X3 is listed in the auction record with a salvage title and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports side-area collision damage, with substantial deformation on the left front fender and left-side doors. No clear major damage was visible at the front or rear vehicle ends in the reviewed images. The observed damage includes: - Moderate deformation and a sharp crease in the left front fender near the rear portion of the wheel arch. - A large irregular dent with multiple creases across the middle and lower sections of the left front door. - A broad irregular dent and several creases across the middle and lower sections of the left rear door. - Minor scuffing and paint abrasion on the left front bumper near the fog-lamp opening. The damage is concentrated along the vehicle’s left side. A complete physical inspection should confirm the condition of the door structures, hinges, latches, window mechanisms, side-impact protection, wheel-arch area, suspension, alignment, airbags, seat belts, and any components behind the affected panels. The provided findings do not establish the condition or operation of these systems. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and approximately 241 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The VIN decoded cleanly through the supplied NHTSA data.
