BMW I8: how many are still registered?

2,282still registered

BMW I8 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 5 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 2,406 (2019 Q4) - 94.8% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,124 in 2030.

225 of the survivors (9.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,282 surviving BMW I8 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 80 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 71.3% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
