2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record identifies this 2014 BMW X3 as having a salvage title and lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive collision damage concentrated at the left front corner. The hood is severely crushed, with sharp folds and displaced metal. The left front body structure and mounting areas in the engine bay are substantially bent and displaced. The front bumper cover is missing across much of the front, while the exposed bumper reinforcement is visibly bent, particularly on the left side. The grille is displaced and damaged, and the left headlamp assembly is absent or extensively broken, with wiring and other components exposed. The left front fender is severely crushed and torn around the wheel opening and front door edge. The lower cooling area is exposed, with visible damage to the radiator/intercooler surroundings, ducting, and grille pieces. A lower bumper trim component is also detached and hanging near the front wheel. The steering-wheel airbag, roof-side airbag fabric, lower driver-side dashboard airbag, and right-side roof curtain airbag are visibly deployed. Replacement and inspection of the restraint system, sensors, wiring, and related structural components will be required. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported output of 241 horsepower. The supplied factory decode does not provide transmission details.
