HOW MANY BMW M1 ARE LEFT?

There are 32,775 BMW M1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 716 BMW M1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M1 was highest during 2025 Q1 (33,607). The number taxed topped out in 2024 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 116 (0%) BMW M1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q1 the number of BMW M1 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 M1 has gained 28,826. Licensed models have increased by 28,134 and the SORNed total has increased by 692.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 11,645 BMW M1 models. Taxed models have grown by 11,170 and the SORNed total has increased by 475.

98% of the surviving 33,491 BMW M1 in the UK are still on the road.
