HOW MANY BMW M 535 I ARE LEFT?

There are 26 BMW M 535 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 46 BMW M 535 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M 535 I was highest during 1994 Q4 (171). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 99 (58%) BMW M 535 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of BMW M 535 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 M 535 I has gained 12. Licensed models have increased by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 6.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 10 BMW M 535 I models. Taxed models have grown by 13 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

64% of the remaining 72 BMW M 535 I in the UK are currently off the road.
