HOW MANY BMW 316I SE ARE LEFT?

There are 557 BMW 316I SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 625 BMW 316I SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 316I SE was highest during 2002 Q4 (8,587). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 7,405 (86%) BMW 316I SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q2 the number of BMW 316I SE 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.
