Since owning my Clubsport, knowing they were Ltd. Edition, I wanted to know more so I emailed BMW asking how many BMW 330Ci Clubsports were left in the UK now, after some may have been crashed / stolen etc.
I had an email back today from a very helpful lady at BMW (a real testament to BMW Customer Service) the email read as follows:
quote: Dear Mr Cooksey
Thank you for your patience whilst I looked into your enquiry for you.
We are unable to confirm how many E46 330Ci M Clubsport Coupes there left on the road in the UK, however, listed below are the number of this particular model that were registered in the UK and the colours that they were built in:
Carbon Black = 6
Estoril Blue = 85
Titanium Silver = 20
Velvet Blue = 20
Total = 131
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Yours sincerely

That's pretty cool - and tbh not all of those may still be around
Common old Estoril blue though!

Tried the DVLA?
I think there's a charge, but they should know how many are still taxed currently, which should give you a closer indication of how many are left, might not even be 20 silver ones now.

I bought an Estoril Blue one, then sale went tits up and I ended up with the Titanium Silver one and actually prefer it!

So they looked up a bit of data for you. That isn't customer service, that is looking up some data. No one compliments me on my rapport when I tell someone their post total.
