HOW MANY BMW 850 CSI ARE LEFT?

There are 28 BMW 850 CSI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 85 BMW 850 CSI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 850 CSI was highest during 1996 Q4 (143). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 30 (21%) BMW 850 CSI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q1 the number of BMW 850 CSI 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 850 CSI has gained 7. Licensed models have fallen by 25 and the SORNed total has increased by 32.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 4 BMW 850 CSI models. Taxed models have declined by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

75% of the remaining 113 BMW 850 CSI in the UK are currently off the road.
