2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage-title condition, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible left-side door and rocker-area damage supports the auction’s SIDE code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from vehicle photos. The vehicle is a 2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and approximately 241 horsepower according to the VIN decode. It was manufactured in the United States. The main damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door has a broad inward dent with multiple creases, along with scuffing and discoloration on the lower section. The left rear door has a large inward dent and pronounced creasing through the lower and middle areas. The rocker panel below the doors and the adjacent lower bodywork are deformed and abraded, with an irregular opening near the lower rear-door edge. Additional scuffing is visible on the lower left-side doors and rocker trim. The front bumper cover has several minor dark surface marks and scuffs. The findings indicate moderate collision damage to both left-side doors and the rocker area. Repairs may require body-panel replacement or substantial reshaping, rocker-area repair, refinishing, and inspection of the underlying structure, door operation, seals, wiring, and safety systems. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of these components or the vehicle’s mechanical operation. Official recall information provided for this vehicle includes recalls involving the child-seat lower anchor bars, brake vacuum-assist components, the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, and the engine cooling-system water-pump electrical connector. The listed remedies include reinforcement, brake-system modification, air-bag replacement, and water-pump or connector inspection and replacement as applicable. Recall completion should be verified with BMW using the VIN before purchase.
