You can look at how many are taxed and SORN each year. That gives a pretty decent indication.

This indicates there were 1086 registered at their peak in 2009, of which 1022 were still on the DVLA system in Q4 2019 (interestingly 384 were SORN at that time, probably more now due to impact of lockdown). Those stats do not seem to differentiate between roadies and coupes.

Also take a look at this thread. Bing posted some UK figures towards the bottom of the page.

Using that website, there are only 62, 3.0 Si manual roadsters in the UK at the moment. And only 64 maximum at one point.Big Bad Boris wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 7:09 am https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/bmw_z4_m#!tax

Surprised at that. Didn’t realise that they were so relatively rare.

How many left website does my head in. So many people are completely mislead by it.
If you Google 'veh0101' you'll find a gov website containing data about vehicles.
Or just click here...
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistic ... cles-veh01
VEH0120 and VEH0121 are the ones you want. They show taxed and sorned vehicles respectively.
How many left are quite clear that they use this data. All they do with it is make it pretty, accessible and easy to understand. It's not their data and they don't do anything with it. Which therefore dictates that if the government data is misleading, so will theirs be.
I can't be bothered typing away for ages to explain why the government data is misleading. Just download both spreadsheets and filter for Z4's. Study the data for 10 mins and if you know anything about Z4's you'll very quickly realise that the numbers don't stack up.
As far as I can tell, it's probably down to the description of the vehicle when first registered and this is what DVLA (and in turn the government) have used in their data.

I think there are many flavours of 3ltr roadster, you need to group them consistently and add these up to get any sort of meaningful figure. Where as all the ///Ms were grouped together at birth. Common as muck in comparison on the face of it. But not the case in the real world. Don't you just love statistics.

I appreciate there are a couple of versions of the 3l roadster - I was just curious to the SI manual (facelift version) and from that website there are only 62 - which I found doubtful.buzyg wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 8:59 am I think there are many flavours of 3ltr roadster, you need to group them consistently and add these up to get any sort of meaningful figure.

Like Jamie said, it’s no doubt open to interpretation from first registration details.

A forum member put together this database for all 3.0Si and M models a few years ago:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html
You just select which one at the top then click on the country.
From memory the UK got about 1,200 M models, split pretty much 50/50 between Coupes and Roadsters.
