HOW MANY BMW 535 I SE ARE LEFT?

There are 24 BMW 535 I SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 86 BMW 535 I SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 535 I SE was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,706). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,596 (94%) BMW 535 I SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of BMW 535 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.

In the last 10 years the total number of BMW 535 I SE has fallen by 13. Licensed models have fallen by 15 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 9 BMW 535 I SE models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.
