2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i

This 2022 BMW X3 is recorded at auction with an MV-907A salvage certificate and a primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely creased and deformed along its leading edge and front-right corner, with uneven gaps above the headlamp and fender areas. The painted front bumper cover and central kidney grille assemblies are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and other internal front-end components. Multiple lower fascia and air-deflector pieces are broken or absent, and detached black components are hanging below the front end. Both front fenders are damaged around the headlamps, with moderate deformation and irregular panel edges. Wheel-arch and bumper-side trim is detached and hanging outward on both the front left and front right sides. Broken or missing plastic is also visible around both headlamp assemblies, leaving open gaps around the lamps. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying radiator, reinforcement, supports, wiring, lighting assemblies, sensors, engine components, suspension, or safety systems; these areas require a thorough physical inspection and functional testing. A minor light-colored scuff is visible on the black lower trim at the right rear bumper. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The supplied NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2022 X3 model range. These include recalls involving the automatic-transmission mechatronics unit (22V070000), the high-pressure fuel rail (22V513000), rear cargo-rail attachments (24V534000 and 24V764000), second-row door-locking modules (25V106000), and the engine starter or starter relay (25V636000, 26V056000, and 26V438000). The records state that the transmission recall population was repaired, while the completion status of the other campaigns should be verified by VIN with BMW or NHTSA before purchase. Given the extensive front-end damage, the vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until all structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, lighting, and driver-assistance systems have been professionally inspected and repaired.
