HOW MANY BMW M3 COUPE ARE LEFT?

There are 259 BMW M3 COUPE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 656 BMW M3 COUPE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M3 COUPE was highest during 1999 Q4 (1,990). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,075 (54%) BMW M3 COUPE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of BMW M3 COUPE 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 M3 COUPE has fallen by 64. Licensed models have fallen by 328 and the SORNed total has increased by 264.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 29 BMW M3 COUPE models. Taxed models have declined by 52 and the SORNed total has increased by 23.

72% of the remaining 915 BMW M3 COUPE in the UK are currently off the road.
