I've just broght a 325i Tourer and it seems to be bloody expensive to insure.

How much are you guys paying? I'm getting quotes of over £200 third party, i want it to be as near to £100 as possible.

I'm 30 with a clean record, a hisory of performance cars.

I'm going by the fact i pay £80 on my classic Karmann Ghia and my mk1 polo. I was also paying £347 on my modded vx220 turbo.

Any ideas?

I've just got mine on a classic for a smidge under £400 fully comp through Adrian Flux.

I have a 'ahem'..... chequered driving history so that amount was fine with me. :D

£200 doesn't sound that bad to me for a Gp 16 car!
Comp or TP's not going to make much difference to the premium - they're not going to pay out a lot on an E30 whatever happens to it. It's the damage you do WITH the car, not TO the car that they're worried about.
IIRC, when getting quotes a couple of years ago, with one company a TP quote came back slightly higher than the comp one.

Right.... I'm 33, no history whatsoever (just came to UK) and my TPFT is circa 600 with Elephant (for '90 320 touring). Do I get a medal? :cry:

Right the tourer i was about to buy turned out to have a cracked head when i went to pick it up tonight, gutted, so back on the hunt.

I have managed to get the insurance down to £130 tp and £165 fc which is much better :), thats with Adrain Flux of all people.

I hate you all.

£550 tpft, on a 316! 28, clean licence, no claims/convictions but 0 ncb. (never had my own insurance)

I'm scared to call them up and tell them I've dropped it, put alloys on and put in a 2.5. Got til the weekend to do it as its off road atm. :(
