HOW MANY BMW Z3 ROADSTER ARE LEFT?

There are 806 BMW Z3 ROADSTER left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 558 BMW Z3 ROADSTER that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW Z3 ROADSTER was highest during 2009 Q2 (1,585). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 221 (14%) BMW Z3 ROADSTER have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q4 the number of BMW Z3 ROADSTER 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 Z3 ROADSTER has fallen by 126. Licensed models have fallen by 536 and the SORNed total has increased by 410.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 13 BMW Z3 ROADSTER models. Taxed models have declined by 131 and the SORNed total has increased by 118.

59% of the surviving 1,364 BMW Z3 ROADSTER in the UK are still on the road.
