BMW M1: how many are still registered?
33,271still registered
BMW M1 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 9 recorded variants.
7 of the survivors (under 0.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.
One car drawn per 100 on the road - there are too many left to draw one each. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.
By year
All 33,271 surviving BMW M1 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 479 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 88.0% 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.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built. DVLA's first-registration series starts in 2001, well after the BMW M1 was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
