Hello all.

I'm seriously considering doing an M30 conversion on my 316i as I've been offered the lot by Baz on here. Only problem is the dreaded insurance. :x

I've spoken to my insurer and others but it seems no one will insure....So can anyone recommend any insurers that will be able to offer a a reasonable quote. BTW I'm 20.

Cheers.

I'm insured with Sky, on here,
Adrain Flux has gone S hit, doing less modified BMW's according to their staff, and increasing their premiums 3 fold :eek:
It's your age at the end of the day mate.

Oppisite for me rav, Cheaper this year with af and better than the sky quote.

I think the problem will be more the fact that your 20 and in a 3.5 converted car will be £££'s Where ever you go.

Age will be the main issue, try Performance Direct.

Try insuring a turbo'd m30 :mad:

Funny enough I've been trying all day to get insurance for my 3.5 and the ONLY place which has actually quoted me is quoteline direct and it was £5668.77 8O 8O 8O

Sky insurance werent interested...adrian flux werent interested...tiger insurance passed me to around 5 different companies...who werent interested

its a combination of age and the size of the engine..they just panic when they hear 3.5...22yrs old :eek: !!!

mate at 20 yrs old i dont mean to kill it but i wouldnt bother! get an 318is or a 320i or something!

I think you got to be at least 21 and have 2 years of driving experience with Sky.

Just been told i can't get insured on my new daily because of my conviction :x :x

Have you tried Perfomance Direct?

I've noticed insurers are now being picky.
Even AF weren't interested this year, and i was with them for 4 yrs before Sky :?

sky told me they can't insure me either on my sport when i was 21 with 1 years no claim!. Can't imagine what they would have said if i said 3.5L! the computer would have probs blown up!! :P
