2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports this unverified primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2016 BMW X3 has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily crumpled, buckled, and raised above the surrounding panels. The front bumper and lower fascia are torn, displaced, and missing sections, while the kidney grilles are broken and separated. Radiator and other front-end components are exposed, with bent or broken metal and plastic brackets visible around the radiator support and left inner front area. The left front fender and adjacent corner are crushed and heavily creased, with torn panel edges and separated or missing trim around the headlamp and wheel opening. The left bumper corner is detached, and loose material or wiring is hanging below the headlamp area. The front lamp assemblies and their mounting areas are displaced. The extent of the visible damage means the condition of the radiator support, cooling system, engine-bay components, sensors, wiring, suspension, steering, and underlying structural areas should be confirmed through a thorough physical inspection. Multiple airbags are deployed, including the steering-wheel airbag and additional airbags or restraint fabric from the driver-side dashboard and roof-side areas. The center-console trim around the gear selector is also broken or missing, with exposed gaps and loose fragments. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an assembled-in-the-United-States origin. The decoded VIN identifies the vehicle as gasoline-powered; therefore, the listed recalls applying specifically to diesel X3 xDrive28d vehicles do not appear applicable. Records also list recalls 16V333000 concerning the child-seat lower anchor bars and 24V608000 concerning the electric water-pump connector and protective shield for the X3 xDrive28i. Recall completion should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN, particularly given the extent of the collision damage.
