Its a 325i SE, yeah the guy said its normally only for full comp and over 25.
I stay in the south side.
He asked me what were my previous cars since it was such a big engine, i told him a 205 1.9 GTI and a 1.6 GTI, he seemed to like that, said i had experience with cars of that type before lol.

BMWs tend to have high insurance regardless
Paid loads for my E30s always

Yeah but how many years claims free, where is it kept, and is it your only car?

6 years (touch wood!! lol), on the drive, yup.

Yeah well you are lucky with 6 years, and on the drive is ok but obviously it makes a differance if it is on the drive of your semi in brixton or on the drive of your stately home 50 miles from anywhere in the highlands of scotland.
Who is your insurance company?
Still I think mine is quite fair, most shy away from the fact I'm a student, I suppose male students do drive like tits.

Guess it helps to live in the middle of nowhere when getting insurance!
Im a similar age but not as much NCB but never saw under 1k for any E30 just TPTF
All cause of a London postcode

Yeah, I live in one of the lowest crime rate postcodes in Yorkshire, the fact my car is never there is irrelevant! You should still be able to get less than 1K for TPFT try churchill.

I dont remember Churchill being any good, i think i can get about 1k now for a 325i Touring on TPTF but thats still nasty compared to paying Ԛ£800 fully comp for my current steer

It says where my drive is, under my avatar!
I expect the area does make a fair bit of difference, but the quote I went with was my renewal (!) & was way better than flux or anyone else could offer... It's with... wait for it... Direct Line!
I was pretty happy with it anyway...
