Does anyone know how many E21's are left on the road in the UK? Can it be checked via the tax/MOT database?

Try here not the easiest to get some results.

My calcs for cars taxed in the uk are:

315 = ~0
316 = ~71
320 = ~82
323 = ~56

Total = ~209

Just took first registration dates up to 1982 (so may include some E30's?)

Top work! Christ, thought we'd have at least double that number. Explains why I've only ever seen two others on the road when driving about (one of which was Dr Jim!).

What happened to all your E21's? I'm pretty sure more E21's were sold in the UK than in Holland.

We did a round with the authorities in Sep, with the following results:

E21's in The Netherlands
Total 323i: 397
Total 320i: 15
Total 320: 544
Total 318i: 77
Total 318: 98
Total 316: 327
Total 315: 133
Total Alpina: 13

Grand total 1.633. Of these 1.633, 773 pcs have a 2013-2014-2015 MOT date so these can be considered active, still in use.
Regards/groeten, Jeroen

Just to add to this, cars on SORN (unlicensed but still exist?)

315 = ~0
316 = ~106
320 = ~134
323 = ~146

Total = ~384

All licensed and unlicensed cars total = ~593

Jeroen: I'm guessing rust and a super strict MOT test (though not sure how it compares to yours).

I guess that doesn't bode well for spares in the future. I've already found it impossible to get hold of an E21 RHD M10 downpipe. :-(
