HOW MANY BMW 318D ARE LEFT?

There are 12 BMW 318D left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 13 BMW 318D that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318D was highest during 2007 Q4 (71). The number taxed topped out in 2007 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 46 (65%) BMW 318D have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q2 the number of BMW 318D 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 318D has fallen by 38. Licensed models have fallen by 48 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 26 BMW 318D models. Taxed models have declined by 27 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

52% of the remaining 25 BMW 318D in the UK are currently off the road.
