HOW MANY BMW 316I LUX ARE LEFT?

There are 73 BMW 316I LUX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 187 BMW 316I LUX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 316I LUX was highest during 1994 Q4 (2,113). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,853 (88%) BMW 316I LUX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of BMW 316I LUX that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of BMW 316I LUX has fallen by 25. Licensed models have fallen by 78 and the SORNed total has increased by 53.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 15 BMW 316I LUX models. Taxed models have declined by 26 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

72% of the remaining 260 BMW 316I LUX in the UK are currently off the road.
