E30 Zone

Gettin my first e30 soon, Can anyone help me with insurance companys etc, Ive had some alright quotes off confused but want to better them, Im 26 and after 325is, How do i go about classic insurance also.

Adrian Flux!

TESCO

best quotes i got for my 320i were from confused.com and ive spent a good amount of time shopping around!
i was using classic insurance for my minis and it was dirt cheap but when i tried to change it over to the bmw it was silly money, ive had quotes half the price off confused.com for 'normal' insurance without limited milage etc etc
classic insurance is ok if its purely a weekend toy (or a 998/1089cc mini!) but for something big or more of a regular used car dont bother with it IMHO (ive had classic for a couple of years now). some classic policies dont drop prices after a year regardless if you have a claim or not, and some policies dont give you a no-claims bonus regardless either, cos with it based on limited milage the chances of claiming are minimal.

but hey good luck with it!

dunno if it will work for u but i am 19 and had just turnt 19 by 2days when i brought and insured my 1989 bmw 325i sport i went all over for insurance and every1 just laughed but then i tried lloyds tsb and they quoted me just under £1100!

Thats an amazing quote!!! how many no claims you got??

privelege quoted me happy

25 yrs old, 7 years no claims and i paid £368 fully comp this time around

Sabre insurance quoted me £900 for my M3 and im 21 with 3 years NCB. If the car was not in storage i would have taken it - I was paying double that last year

I pay £346 fully comp on my 320 Cab as a classic car policy allowing 5000miles a year, with free breakdown cover and Windscreen excess is £0

I can get the name of the firm when i get home if it helps

Im 25, 5 NCB and a 325i sport. £299 fully comp - Privilege

HIC are very good or have been with me, i'm 23 and have my alpina on a classic for £400 limited miles. But i rang about 40 companies trying to insure it and they were the ONLY firm who even quoted in the end!

320i cab
no no-claims
claim made in june 2006
22 years old
accountant (bad for insurance!)


360quid fully comp (200quid excess only)...beat that!!!!

asda insurance... (the guy on the phone said it was 'an unusually low quote for my circumstances''

Try Performance direct, I was £249 Fully comp for my sport last year but I'm an old bugger with 10 years NCB.

i had 1 years no claims and bout 18months driving experiance! i woz over the fucking moon!

Cheers for all the help guys. Gonna try tesco, asda and privelage.

I might be wrong, but a lot of the companies quoted dont cover mods, though the people recommending them have modded motors?! Bit dodgy no?
Anyone know of any more companies other than Flux that are understanding with mods?

Carole Nash, got my 320 on classic, 189 fully comp.

Im with flux at mo, Think there SHIT. Wanted to change my e36 for impreza a while back and they said they did'nt cover for cars of that type and said it would cost me over 3 grand to insure it.

550 on my 325 with admiral.
24 no no claims.

confused.com they are always a good starting point.

Im with endsleigh car insurane , Limited mileage and tpf&t , £156 with 5+ years no claims

Oh and admiral quoted me £286 then i tryed there duel car policy , But insured both cars with other people , My laguna rt sport is with the rac But endsleigh was the cheapest by far for the beemer

im 19, registered as a 320i but running a 325i, no ncb, 3 points, £700!

Damn thats some cheap prices above

im 34 with a tech 1 and full ncb and still paying £340 comp thru morethan

Try www.ecarinsurance.co.uk, im only comeing 23 and have near 6years no claims and they were quoteing me suffing like £500some odd fully comp for the 325i sport...worth a try

try QUINN direct i'm with tescos paying about 380 a year tpft just got a quote from them £227 a year tpft i,m 28 been driving 2 years have 2 yrs no claims.Quinn were cheaper for me fully comp than tesco are tpft

What's people's experience with suspension/wheel mods? Mine's dropped 40mm on 15" BBS but the drivetrain is almost standard.
I still have all the OEM springs/shocks/wheels, so I can convert back if necessary. Should I 'fess up?
