2013 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The auction lists the primary damage as Rear. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the rear bumper cover and both outer tail-lamp assemblies are missing, with exposed wiring and deformation around the rear lamp openings. The complete rear bumper cover is absent, exposing the lower rear body panel, bumper mounting areas, exhaust components, and wiring. Both outer tail-lamp assemblies at the rear quarter-panel corners are missing, although the inner lamps mounted on the liftgate remain visible. The metal and mounting edges around both outer lamp openings show creasing and deformation. Electrical wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging below the rear body and in the tail-lamp areas. These components and the affected bodywork will require repair or replacement, with the wiring and connections requiring careful inspection. A minor dark scuff is also visible on the front bumper below the headlamp. An amber engine-shaped warning indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster. The underlying fault cannot be identified from the provided findings, so diagnostic testing is recommended before purchase or operation. The VIN decodes as a 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter six-cylinder engine, and a reported output of 241 horsepower. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model and year, including recalls involving the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, child-seat lower anchors, brake-assist vacuum-pump operation, the passenger air-bag instrument-panel tear seam, and the engine water-pump electrical connector. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the VIN, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before the vehicle is driven.
