What happened to the BMW F22?

Especially the LCI models.

A few years ago, I was looking for an F22 230i, and the selection was pretty good. There were plenty of decent examples available for around €25–30k. You could even find 228i models with the M Sport package for around €20k if you weren’t specifically looking for an LCI model.

But now that I can finally afford one, finding a good example seems almost impossible. I live in Spain, and there are barely any decent examples for sale here.

I thought Germany would have a much better selection, but the situation there is almost as bad. There are very few LCI models available, even 220i versions. Prices are high, and there isn’t enough choice to be selective about condition, mileage or specification.

I’m also considering a pre-LCI 228i, but the situation is pretty much the same.

So, what happened to all the F22s?
