2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The vehicle is a 2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. The VIN decoder identifies it as manufactured in the United States. The auction record lists the condition as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” and the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, folded, and sharply creased across the front and center sections, with its front edge raised and uneven above the grille. The front bumper cover is displaced and heavily deformed, with deep scraping, black and green surface transfer, cracks, torn edges, open sections, and large gaps. Portions of the front fascia and grille surround are missing, exposing internal components around the grille and headlamp areas. The kidney grille assembly is misaligned, and the headlamp mounting areas and surrounding trim are damaged or absent. The vehicle-left headlamp area is open, with broken or missing trim and exposed components. Both the driver steering-wheel airbag and front passenger dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. Additional deployed fabric is visible along the driver-side roof or pillar area and near the lower dashboard. The instrument cluster displays ABS, BRAKE, restraint-system, and stability-control warning indicators. A small dark horizontal scuff is also visible on the side front door panel. The available findings indicate substantial front-end and restraint-system damage. A physical inspection should confirm the condition of the structural components, cooling and engine-bay systems, lighting, wiring, suspension, steering, braking systems, airbag system, and diagnostic modules before repair or road use. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model range. The applicable gasoline X3 campaigns include recall 16V333000 concerning child-seat lower anchor bars and recall 24V608000 concerning the electrical water-pump connector, which may increase fire risk if it shorts. The recall records do not establish whether the repairs have been completed. Other listed recalls concern diesel-powered X3 xDrive28d vehicles and do not correspond to the decoded gasoline engine.
