2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The bumper cover is severely crushed and torn, with extensive white scrape marks, displaced sections, and a large opening exposing broken plastic along the lower edge. The front-left headlamp has a cracked and broken outer lens, irregular openings, and visible damage to internal components. The left side of the lower grille is fractured, with detached or missing pieces and open gaps. The front-left fog-lamp area appears to be an open cavity without a visibly installed lamp or complete bezel. No conclusions about hidden structural, mechanical, cooling-system, airbag, or electrical damage can be made from these findings alone. A comprehensive inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks behind the damaged front-end components and verification of the repair requirements. The VIN decodes as a 2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported 241 horsepower. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA recall records include campaign 16V333000, concerning lower child-seat anchor bars on certain 2011–2017 BMW X3 vehicles, and campaign 24V608000, concerning the electrical connector and water pump on certain X3 xDrive28i vehicles. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the VIN. Other listed recall records concern diesel-powered X3 xDrive28d vehicles and do not correspond to the gasoline engine identified by this VIN.
