Really? So you could have a BMW with easily £10K worth of options if you went mad on the options list, then in the second year they would only give you base price if you wrote it off? That is scandalous! But then who says insurance comp do anybody any favours.

I think it must depend on who you are insured with. Mine are happy to take down what options I have. Surely they wouldn't bother if there was no point?
