2017 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The auction record identifies the vehicle as **Salvage**, with **Left Side** listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Side damage designation, based on dents and creasing on the vehicle-left front fender and front door. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage designation cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. Observed damage includes a missing fog-lamp assembly in the vehicle-right side of the front bumper. The corresponding lower bumper trim is detached and hanging downward, and the surrounding bumper has multiple abrasion marks and dark scuff lines. On the vehicle-left side, the front fender near the hood and A-pillar has a moderate dent and crease with additional scuffing. The lower section of the front door has a pronounced horizontal depression and crease extending toward the rear edge, with scraped paint along the lower edge. The black rocker-panel trim below the front door is also visibly scuffed. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with 2017 BMW X3 variants. The EGR-cooler and high-pressure fuel-pump recalls apply to diesel X3 xDrive28d vehicles and do not correspond to the decoded gasoline powertrain. Other listed campaigns concern the electric power steering system, child-seat lower anchors, and the engine water pump; applicability and completion should be verified directly by VIN with BMW or an authorized dealer. The recall record states that the steering campaign vehicle was repaired before sale, but this should also be confirmed for this specific vehicle.
