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: Identify the engine in the X3 Pro powertrain guide, connect service items to the parts plan, and include fuel or emissions effects in the operating-cost guide.
Confirm engine and refrigerant information
Use the selected market vehicle label and correct service information before any work.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Inspect coolant and visible hardware
Check level, condition, leaks, hoses, radiator or condenser damage and evidence of recent cleaning.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Record warm-up and fan operation
Observe scan temperatures where supported, warning proof and stable behaviour through controlled load.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Test cabin air performance
Record ambient conditions, vent temperature, airflow, modes, compressor behaviour and abnormal noise.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Check heat interaction
Test cooling and air conditioning together because condenser blockage, fans or engine load can expose combined faults.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Plan destination service
Confirm refrigerant, diagnostic capability, filters, hoses, fan and compressor support locally.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
Avoid one-number approval
Vent temperature without ambient, settings, airflow and time is not comparable.
Stop for safety-relevant temperature behaviour
Do not extend a road test when warnings, coolant loss or unstable temperature appears.
Separate cleaning from repair
A washed radiator face or topped-up coolant does not identify the leak or blockage cause.
Recheck after shipping
Inspect pressures, leaks and cooling operation after custody and climate change before normal use.
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
Confirm engine and refrigerant information: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Confirm engine and refrigerant information”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Inspect coolant and visible hardware: what should the buyer retain?
For “Inspect coolant and visible hardware”, 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.
Record warm-up and fan operation: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Record warm-up and fan operation” 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.
