Bit hard to tell from that fella - I'm assuming that with an agreed value of £6k its something special ? would need to know what it is, how old you are, where you are, and what sort of driving history you have ( points / accidents / NCD ) to say whether its any good. If its a mint Motorsport Cab then £325 doesn't sound too bad anyway

Hagerty are also excellent; I use them for my classics, and when I accidentally wrote off my Sport in February, they promptly paid out the full agreed value without too much hassle.

They sometimes allow younger drivers if they are a member of a car club so in this case bmw car club, but most of the best prices are if you limit your mileage

There may well be some that will insure younger drivers . if you limit mileage to around 3000 miles that will save you loads. you found another car yet ?
