HOW MANY BMW 530 I ARE LEFT?

There are 40 BMW 530 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 66 BMW 530 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 530 I was highest during 2001 Q4 (580). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 474 (82%) BMW 530 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of BMW 530 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 530 I has fallen by 45. Licensed models have fallen by 66 and the SORNed total has increased by 21.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 12 BMW 530 I models. Taxed models have declined by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

62% of the remaining 106 BMW 530 I in the UK are currently off the road.
