But you do live in NI which is never good for insurance. :wink:

Ran some quotes on mine, £150 more than the Mondeo, including business miles...not bad, £400 total. :D

Better to have a small car like a 1.0 litre and just get used to a road.

Then move to A E30 325i is plenty fast for a young lad and even now u can have plenty fast and will provide entertainment for many years.

As for modifying it .... Hate to be a dampener .... U will never get your money back and who is to say will be more fun than a bog standard 325i. A 325i is cool in this day and age and while most newer beemas are faster the 325i is a proper one. Use the money you save on something useful. I dunno how on this forum and M3 Cutters loads of young lads get fast powerful motors at a really young age but hey :-)

I dont give a shit about resale value man and besides, your too late :P look at my build thread, iv already thrown almost 3 and half grand at e30s. I have no desire what so ever to insure some little shit box that will crush to the size of a can in a crash and that il loathe owning. E30s are my second favourite car next to E28s and theyr cheap to insure, big ( i need a big car for my bike/decks ) good fun and overall i just love them. Insurance might rocket when i declare mods but i dont drink or smoke so i have a lot of money these days. Im not a show off and I certainly dont act like an idiot behind the wheel. A car only goes as fast as you make it with your foot so provided im sensible i dont see any reason to worry. I appreciate the advice but my mind is made up no matter how stupid it may seem

Cool no worries :-)

By the way a 3 Series E30 I would consider as a 'small executive' car nowdays especially compared to the latest crop of superminis which are the same size I think ....

Id have to agree, theyr not as big as I first thought. But plenty big for mime and the mates bmx and even Wills longboard. My friends all have seat arosas and equivallent cars and theyr so small its scary...i was djing a friends party and my friend picked me up his arosa...i could fit one cd deck in the boot...one between my feet and my mate in the back had the mixer on his knees. Utterly tiny little car, doesnt match my needs at all

Verde should do what he wants. It's his goal! Something to work towards.

It might even keep him out of trouble? lol

Although when I passed my test I wouldn't entertain a small car. Had a astra & a passat.

Been driving the better halves polo gti 16v. Jesus its alot more fun than the astra ever was. 8)

You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

all you had to say was "its on mums insurance" when it was 1st said youd never get insured, and that would of been that, not giving it the big up about working for mi5 and being a farmer and insurance companys ya best pals etc :D

even still they probably wouldnt insure your mum on a modified tech 2 kitted e30 316 with a supercharged m52 in it for any reasonable amount let alone put you on it too, id go as far as to say no insurance company out there would put you legitly on that at 18/19 with a years driving exp, and further more so if you had done a yea ron yoiur mums and not own policy, unless it was for 5 grand or something daft if they would at all, for the crack do a go compare online and enquire for the laugh and show us and put 1 year licence with 0 no claim and the age youl be

Don't insult my inteligence. I have read all of what you have said in this thread and to be honest you are changing your story as you go along.

WTF is "road registered"?

You said your insurance is only £700 and goes up by another £50 when you pass. To begin with, No mention of the fact you are fronting on your mums policy nor the fact that you have only declared it as a 316.

You seem to be skimming over the fact that both of these acts will land you and your mum in the shit if something happenes.

Go and get a quote for you on your own policy having just passed your test on your 316 with all mods declared like the 2.0 engine conversion, aftermarket wheels, lowered suspension, body kit etc etc and then come back to me and tell me is cheap.

Verde, I haven't read anything but the current page of this thread, but what Barry is getting at is that you are playing with fire with the insurance arrangements you are making.

A modified E30 is never going to wash as being your old girl's car when you stuff it and believe me, a young lad with a 24v'd E30 is going to end up in a smack.

If you have a big off, then your mother would risk a lot when her insurers hose her down for the cost of any third party claims they have had to pay out on.

I know you want to have a nice E30 with some poke, but think your plans out fully.

By all means, make plans and have a goal of what you want to do to your car. I'm not trying to pish on your ideas or enthusiasm.

But a modded E30 (especially with a 24v swap) and mods actually declared, is costly. I'm an old coont at 38 and my M52'd E30 with all mods declared and a full NCD of 10 years still cost me £500 fully comp.

Having the car registered to a parent and they insure it with you as a named driver is what is called "fronting" and it usually ends up in tears.
