HOW MANY BMW 528 I ARE LEFT?

There are 68 BMW 528 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 168 BMW 528 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 528 I was highest during 1994 Q4 (2,979). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,743 (92%) BMW 528 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of BMW 528 I 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 528 I has fallen by 31. Licensed models have fallen by 76 and the SORNed total has increased by 45.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 9 BMW 528 I models. Taxed models have declined by 24 and the SORNed total has increased by 15.

71% of the remaining 236 BMW 528 I in the UK are currently off the road.
