HOW MANY BMW 840 CI ARE LEFT?

There are 19 BMW 840 CI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 30 BMW 840 CI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 840 CI was highest during 2003 Q4 (62). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 13 (21%) BMW 840 CI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q3 the number of BMW 840 CI 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 840 CI has gained 5. Licensed models have fallen by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 BMW 840 CI models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

61% of the remaining 49 BMW 840 CI in the UK are currently off the road.
