2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title and lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The left front corner is extensively crushed and open, with severe deformation to the left front fender and the left side of the hood. The left front headlamp assembly is missing, and the front bumper cover is torn and broken in multiple areas, with missing material, open gaps, and exposed internal components and wiring. The hood has an uneven raised gap above the grille and left headlamp area. There is also severe collision damage along the right side. The right front fender is heavily creased and deformed around the wheel opening. The right front door has extensive deep creases and outward/inward deformation, while the lower portion of the right rear door is significantly dented with irregular panel contours. Sections of the lower right-side door trim and rocker-area trim are missing, leaving mounting holes and uneven edges. Additional cosmetic issues include numerous thin scratches and light surface marks across the hood. Several light gray discoloration marks are present on the beige rear-seat upholstery, including the lower cushion and an area near the seatback seam. The VIN decode identifies this as a 2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, rated at 241 horsepower. It was manufactured by BMW in Greer, South Carolina. The supplied recall data includes campaigns relevant to X3 xDrive28i vehicles, including recall 16V333000 concerning child-seat lower anchor bars and recall 24V608000 concerning the electrical water-pump connector. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer. The other listed recalls concern diesel-powered X3 xDrive28d vehicles and do not correspond to the gasoline specification shown in the VIN decode. Given the extent of the visible collision damage and exposed front-end components, a comprehensive inspection for hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, restraint-system, and cooling-system damage is recommended before purchase.
