HOW MANY BMW 525 I SE ARE LEFT?

There are 117 BMW 525 I SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 284 BMW 525 I SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 525 I SE was highest during 1996 Q4 (7,183). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

During 2017 Q4 the number of BMW 525 I SE 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.
