HOW MANY BMW 318 TDS SE ARE LEFT?

There are 9 BMW 318 TDS SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 66 BMW 318 TDS SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318 TDS SE was highest during 1998 Q4 (1,419). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,344 (95%) BMW 318 TDS SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of BMW 318 TDS 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.
