2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record lists the primary damage as SIDE and the condition as CERTIFICATE OF TITLE. Stage 1’s assessment states that the extensive visible damage to the left-side doors supports the SIDE damage code; however, the CERTIFICATE OF TITLE condition cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated on the left side. The left front door is heavily crushed and deformed, with deep irregular depressions, sharp horizontal creases, extensive abrasion, paint scuffing, and exposed dark marks. The left rear door has a large dent and horizontal crease with dark scuffing. The left rocker-panel and lower-door area also show extensive abrasion, and the left-side doors have broad panel deformation overall. A side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white fabric hanging from the roof-side area near the left front door and A-pillar. This indicates that the restraint system will require inspection and likely replacement of affected components. Additional checks should include the door frames, B-pillar, rocker structure, roof edge, wiring, sensors, hinges, locks, and possible suspension or alignment damage. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of these areas, the vehicle’s mechanical systems, or its ability to operate. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i, a gasoline-powered 2.0-liter four-cylinder AWD SUV, manufactured in the United States. The VIN is 5UXWX9C55E0D28346. Official NHTSA recall records list several recalls applicable to 2014 X3 vehicles, including recalls involving the child-seat lower anchor bars, brake vacuum assistance, driver-airbag inflators, and the engine water-pump electrical connector. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with BMW, as the supplied information does not establish whether any of these repairs have been completed. Given the deployed airbag and substantial side impact damage, a complete pre-purchase inspection and repair-cost assessment are strongly recommended.
