HOW MANY BMW 530D SE ARE LEFT?

There are 514 BMW 530D SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 707 BMW 530D SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 530D SE was highest during 2007 Q4 (3,295). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 2,074 (63%) BMW 530D SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of BMW 530D 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 530D SE has fallen by 1,625. Licensed models have fallen by 2,134 and the SORNed total has increased by 509.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 633 BMW 530D SE models. Taxed models have declined by 733 and the SORNed total has increased by 100.

58% of the remaining 1,221 BMW 530D SE in the UK are currently off the road.
