574 BMW 225E M Sport Xdrive Auto cars are licensed in the UK, and another 1 are declared off the road (SORN). That's the most there have ever been on the road. One of 93 versions DVLA records under the BMW 2 Series.
Yearly figures to 2007, then every quarter. SORN was only recorded from the end of 2007, so earlier totals show licensed cars only. Small dips at each year end are usually seasonal: some owners SORN their cars for winter.

New each year, and how many are still here
589 were first registered between 2026 and 2026, and 0 of those are still registered. Too few in any one year to chart. This data starts in 2001, so cars first registered before then aren't counted here.
