2017 BMW X3 XDRIVE28I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage to the hood, front bumper, front-left fender, headlamp area, and adjacent front fascia. The front-left portion of the hood is severely creased and collapsed, with its edge displaced above the headlamp opening. The front-left fender is crushed and folded around the wheel arch and front corner. The left headlamp lens and housing are broken or missing, leaving internal lamp components and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover is severely torn, cracked, and displaced. A large section is detached and hanging downward from the left side and lower front edge. The front fascia has large gaps, torn panel edges, and exposed components. Lower bumper grilles, black trim, and wheel-arch pieces are displaced or detached, with open mounting areas visible. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the front bumper, headlamp assembly, hood, fender, associated brackets, trim, and potentially concealed components will require detailed inspection and repair or replacement. Mechanical, suspension, steering, cooling-system, restraint-system, and structural condition cannot be determined from the supplied findings. Minor interior scuffing and dirt marks are reported on the center-console trim and front passenger footwell. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i, a five-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Several BMW/NHTSA recall records were supplied. Campaign 24V608000 concerns the electric water-pump connector and applies to listed 2013–2017 X3 sDrive28i and xDrive28i vehicles; the remedy involves inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector and installation of a protective shield. Campaign 16V704000 concerns the electric power-steering control unit and was limited to one 2017 X3 xDrive28i vehicle manufactured on June 7, 2016. Other supplied recalls concern specific diesel X3 variants and may not apply to this gasoline vehicle. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed with BMW using the VIN before purchase.
