HOW MANY BMW 318 CI ARE LEFT?

There are 614 BMW 318 CI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,235 BMW 318 CI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318 CI was highest during 2003 Q4 (8,365). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 6,516 (78%) BMW 318 CI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q4 the number of BMW 318 CI 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 318 CI has fallen by 3,540. Licensed models have fallen by 4,175 and the SORNed total has increased by 635.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,038 BMW 318 CI models. Taxed models have declined by 1,026 and the SORNed total has fallen by 12.

67% of the remaining 1,849 BMW 318 CI in the UK are currently off the road.
