HOW MANY BMW 325I ARE LEFT?

There are 240 BMW 325I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 653 BMW 325I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 325I was highest during 1994 Q4 (7,825). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 6,932 (89%) BMW 325I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q1 the number of BMW 325I 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 325I has gained 31. Licensed models have fallen by 110 and the SORNed total has increased by 141.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 21 BMW 325I models. Taxed models have declined by 12 and the SORNed total has increased by 33.

73% of the remaining 893 BMW 325I in the UK are currently off the road.
