No. I'm going to hold out for a white one or possibly red. Got to be very low mileage and as late a model as I can get. A white one came up for sale today at my nearest Honda dealer but it's got too many miles on it.
sorry for going off topic! |

Maybe ask your current provider to check the database to make sure your details haven't been changed or mixed up with someone else's? Errors can happen. If they haven't then ask why the massive jump! As said; everything has gone up but insurance hasn't risen by that amount! |

I was speaking to the broker that sorts out my specialist car insurance and he was telling me for the last 5 years running they have had to pay out more than they have received on German cars. Those brands have consistently been in the red where the JDM cars have done far better, something like paying out 30p for every £1 received. Police just aren’t interested in car thefts at all. So it’s become an easy crime.

I’m not defending the prices but I always remember Clarkson mentioning trying to insure an Escort Cosworth in Essex in the early days. Pretty much each of the (at the time £26k) cars had been stolen. So the price to insure a Cosworth in that area was astronomical. I’ve just insured an M240i. Initially I struggled because there are so few around, insurance companies didn’t have a reliable risk factor so some wouldn’t quote - or would quote £x grand! Keep shopping around, prices do drop daily. |

Well Admiral come at best price after phone call, but here is intresting thing, modification are not covered by them unless fitted by the manufacture, I question them twice regards this as any modification has to be declared, so in another words if you purchased side skirts, spoilers ect. unless they have been fitted by BMW them self in even of accident claim they won't cover them.

As ever, it seems consumers never benefit in the years of plenty, but are expected to shoulder the cost when times are lean. A bit like Thames Water asking consumers to foot the bill for their required investments while still paying fat dividends to investors... |

Well another year come to early, price increased by just over £120, £920 from admiral for year is absolutely joke if you ask me, that's after talking to them, and other comparison sites asking well over 1k.

edit - obviously it's not a guarantee as it depends on area, just an alternative you may not have tried |

I tend to change every year to beat the renewal quote. Went with AA Gold this time. Not the very cheapest but Defaqto 5 star rated, with 1000s of +ve Trustpilot reviews. They also offered European cover, which was a must for me.

I’ve just paid £800 for my Macan. The 420D was £790 but with half the excess for this year. However my previous insurer wanted and additional £600 to change the car on the policy. It’s madness.
I’ve ended up with Allianz for this year and cancelled the other policy. And that was a whole other scandal. After 74 days on cover; I’d have got £388 of my initial £792 back. Managed to get it to £510 which was much more in line with the pro-rated use. They refunded the breakdown cover as I’d never used it and they didn’t want to provide it as a standalone product for the 12 months I’d been charged for. |
