HOW MANY BMW 3.0 CS ARE LEFT?

There are 196 BMW 3.0 CS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 160 BMW 3.0 CS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 3.0 CS was highest during 2024 Q1 (362). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 6 (2%) BMW 3.0 CS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of BMW 3.0 CS 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 3.0 CS has gained 88. Licensed models have increased by 55 and the SORNed total has increased by 33.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 28 BMW 3.0 CS models. Taxed models have grown by 16 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

55% of the surviving 356 BMW 3.0 CS in the UK are still on the road.
