Scrapyard Gem: 2002 BMW 320td
YORK, England — BMW built compact three-door hatchback versions of the 3 Series for the E36 and E46 generations, and many of these cars were fitted with diesel engines during their 1993-2004 production run. However, only the gasoline-powered 1995-1998 318ti E36 version was ever sold new on our side of the Atlantic and the E46 version (which went into production as a 2001 model) won't be legal to import under federal law until 2026. That's no problem for this series, because your intrepid archeologist of discarded vehicles just got back from a trip to Great Britain and spotted this '02 3 Series Compact in a self-service scrapyard near York, England.
