It's a bit pointless asking this mate (no offence intended) as every person's situation is different, age, vehicle, mods, address, occupation, claims history etc etc etc that someone could post up and say I'm with John Smith for £200, so you phone John Smith and they quote you £800 because your circumstances are different

man i hope you earn alot because that is alot of money for insurance.

i hope you got a BMW S54B32 in the E30.

That was the other thing on my mind.
All these people doing engine transplants and god knows what to their E30s do they actually tell their insurance companies because things like that just throw the insurance prices through the roof as you are perceived to be a higher risk?
