HOW MANY BMW 318IS ARE LEFT?

There are 27 BMW 318IS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 100 BMW 318IS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318IS was highest during 2000 Q4 (1,136). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,009 (89%) BMW 318IS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of BMW 318IS 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 318IS has fallen by 117. Licensed models have fallen by 140 and the SORNed total has increased by 23.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 11 BMW 318IS models. Taxed models have declined by 11 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

79% of the remaining 127 BMW 318IS in the UK are currently off the road.
