Yahoo Autos Junkyard Gem: 1980 BMW 320i
BMW is on the seventh generation of the 3 Series by now, with curb weights 50% higher and horsepower levels 50% to 400% greater than what we saw when the very first 320i two-door sedans showed up at American BMW dealerships in late 1976. The E21-platform 320i stayed on sale here until the soon-to-be-legendary E30 replaced it for the 1984 model year, and I've found this 200K-mile example of a mid-series E21 in a self-service boneyard near Reno, Nevada.
Yes, this car reached just over 200,000 miles during its life. That's pretty good for a Malaise Era machine not built by Mercedes-Benz.
Mt. San Antonio College, known by its students as "Mount Sac," is located in Southern California. A life spent in California and Nevada would explain this car's lack of body rust.
