HOW MANY BMW CI AUTO ARE LEFT?

There are 158 BMW CI AUTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 205 BMW CI AUTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW CI AUTO was highest during 1999 Q4 (529). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 166 (31%) BMW CI AUTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of BMW CI AUTO 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.
