The data indicates that the majority of the BMW 3 Series (2005-12) 318I models are relatively recent, with over 74% manufactured between 2008 and 2011. Notably, 2009 accounts for the largest share at approximately 32%, followed by 2010 at around 24%. Very few vehicles from 2012 (less than 1%) or earlier years like 2007 (4.3%) are present in the sample, suggesting that most vehicles are from the later part of the production range. This pattern could imply higher residual values or more recent ownership for these years.
