HOW MANY BMW 528I SE ARE LEFT?

There are 159 BMW 528I SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 309 BMW 528I SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 528I SE was highest during 2001 Q4 (2,975). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,507 (84%) BMW 528I SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q3 the number of BMW 528I 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.

In the last 10 years the total number of BMW 528I SE has fallen by 642. Licensed models have fallen by 727 and the SORNed total has increased by 85.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 194 BMW 528I SE models. Taxed models have declined by 172 and the SORNed total has fallen by 22.

66% of the remaining 468 BMW 528I SE in the UK are currently off the road.
