The purpose of this worksheet is to turn a broad model-name search into a decision that can be checked, quoted and handed over without silently changing assumptions.
Continue the evidence route: Start with the used X3 Pro inspection, reconcile history through the history and mileage check, and price confirmed work in the export budget.
Build a repair timeline
Compare ownership, claims, service, listing media and seller statements with current physical evidence.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Inspect structure and paint
Record paint depth, seams, welds, fasteners, panel fit, glass dates, underbody and suspension pickup areas.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Trace possible water entry
Check carpets, seat rails, cavities, connectors, lamps, spare-wheel well, odour and corrosion before cleaning.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Verify restraints and electronics
Scan modules and inspect airbags, belts, pretensioners, wiring repairs and warning proof.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Check repair quality
Identify parts, methods, alignment and calibration required by affected systems.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Close with a repeat test
Repeat diagnostics, road behaviour, water-related checks and warning review after agreed work.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
Separate cosmetic from structural work
A replaced outer panel can be acceptable while an unexplained rail, sill or floor repair can change safety, alignment and resale risk.
Treat flood uncertainty as a system risk
A dry cabin cannot establish that connectors, modules or low cavities were never exposed.
Do not transfer approval to a substitute
A similar colour or mileage starts a new repair and water-exposure record.
Preserve arrival evidence
Compare loading and arrival condition before cleaning or repair changes the baseline.
Primary market references
These official pages describe their own markets. Confirm the selected VIN and destination rules before using a figure.
Close the note with a decision record
Write the selected candidate, rejected alternatives, evidence reviewed, unresolved questions, responsible person and next deadline. If another vehicle replaces the candidate, reopen identity, inspection, cost and destination checks. A copied conclusion is not valid for a different VIN.

Questions buyers should still ask
Build a repair timeline: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Build a repair timeline”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Inspect structure and paint: what should the buyer retain?
For “Inspect structure and paint”, write down what is verified and what remains an assumption. An open point may be acceptable, but it must stay visible in the price, inspection scope or handover conditions.
Trace possible water entry: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Trace possible water entry” if the vehicle, destination, route or responsible supplier changes. Conclusions belong to the candidate and dated evidence set; they should not be copied to a replacement VIN.
