HOW MANY BMW 318I LUX ARE LEFT?

There are 45 BMW 318I LUX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 139 BMW 318I LUX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318I LUX was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,792). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,608 (90%) BMW 318I LUX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of BMW 318I LUX 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 318I LUX has fallen by 8. Licensed models have fallen by 62 and the SORNed total has increased by 54.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 BMW 318I LUX models. Taxed models have declined by 21 and the SORNed total has increased by 18.

76% of the remaining 184 BMW 318I LUX in the UK are currently off the road.
