2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i

This 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. The visible rear liftgate and bumper deformation supports the stated rear-end damage code. However, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The lower and center sections of the rear liftgate are severely crushed, with extensive inward deformation, multiple deep folds, and an irregular lower edge. The center and lower sections of the rear bumper cover are also severely distorted, with displaced surfaces, visible scraping, and an uneven profile. Additional moderate deformation and scuffing are present at the right rear bumper corner and lower edge. The available findings address exterior rear-end damage only. They do not establish the condition of the underlying body structure, rear impact components, liftgate hardware, lighting, parking sensors, exhaust, suspension, drivetrain, airbags, or other mechanical and electrical systems. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional testing are recommended before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a gasoline-powered, all-wheel-drive BMW X3 SUV with a 2.0-liter six-cylinder engine rated at 241 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW North America in Greer, South Carolina. NHTSA records list recalls associated with this model and year, including campaigns involving the driver frontal air-bag inflator, child-seat lower anchors, brake vacuum assistance, a passenger-airbag instrument-panel issue on certain vehicles, a later driver-airbag inflator recall, and the engine water-pump electrical connector. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
