HOW MANY BMW M3 I ARE LEFT?

There are 39 BMW M3 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 124 BMW M3 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M3 I was highest during 1994 Q4 (265). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 102 (38%) BMW M3 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q1 the number of BMW M3 I 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 I has gained 13. Licensed models have fallen by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 23.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 13 BMW M3 I models. Taxed models have grown by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

76% of the remaining 163 BMW M3 I in the UK are currently off the road.
