HOW MANY BMW M3 CS ARE LEFT?

There are 93 BMW M3 CS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 88 BMW M3 CS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M3 CS was highest during 2006 Q4 (209). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 28 (13%) BMW M3 CS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of BMW M3 CS 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 CS has gained 2. Licensed models have fallen by 70 and the SORNed total has increased by 72.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 3 BMW M3 CS models. Taxed models have declined by 18 and the SORNed total has increased by 21.

51% of the surviving 181 BMW M3 CS in the UK are still on the road.
