HOW MANY BMW M535I ARE LEFT?

There are 41 BMW M535I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 180 BMW M535I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW M535I was highest during 1994 Q4 (888). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 667 (75%) BMW M535I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of BMW M535I 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 M535I has gained 12. Licensed models have fallen by 20 and the SORNed total has increased by 32.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 17 BMW M535I models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 27.

81% of the remaining 221 BMW M535I in the UK are currently off the road.
