HOW MANY BMW 318CI ES ARE LEFT?

There are 64 BMW 318CI ES left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 67 BMW 318CI ES that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318CI ES was highest during 2006 Q4 (432). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 301 (70%) BMW 318CI ES have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q4 the number of BMW 318CI ES 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 318CI ES has fallen by 247. Licensed models have fallen by 302 and the SORNed total has increased by 55.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 132 BMW 318CI ES models. Taxed models have declined by 143 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

51% of the remaining 131 BMW 318CI ES in the UK are currently off the road.
