BMW 3200 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 2 BMW 3200s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 9 in 2014 Q3 — only 22% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 7 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the BMW 3200 is rarer than 90% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the 3200
The BMW 3200 CS was a sports touring car manufactured by BMW between January 1962 and September 1965. It was designed by Bertone and was introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show. More than five hundred were built. The 3200 CS was the final variation on BMW's early postwar luxury platform that began with the 501 introduced in 1951. The styling of the 3200 CS influenced the 2000 CS coupe version of the New Class and the later New Six coupes. It was the first BMW to feature the Hofmeister kink (which would become one of the company's trademark design elements).
