HOW MANY BMW 318 I S ARE LEFT?

There are 117 BMW 318 I S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 625 BMW 318 I S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318 I S was highest during 1996 Q4 (11,213). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 10,471 (93%) BMW 318 I S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of BMW 318 I S 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 I S has fallen by 430. Licensed models have fallen by 483 and the SORNed total has increased by 53.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 64 BMW 318 I S models. Taxed models have declined by 66 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

84% of the remaining 742 BMW 318 I S in the UK are currently off the road.
