HOW MANY BMW 323I ARE LEFT?

There are 611 BMW 323I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,415 BMW 323I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 323I was highest during 2000 Q4 (7,634). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 5,608 (73%) BMW 323I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of BMW 323I 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 323I has fallen by 1,170. Licensed models have fallen by 1,703 and the SORNed total has increased by 533.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 300 BMW 323I models. Taxed models have declined by 357 and the SORNed total has increased by 57.

70% of the remaining 2,026 BMW 323I in the UK are currently off the road.
