Hi Guys,

It's time to renew insurance, I am currently with admiral but unfortunately they have raised my insurance by £100 this year.

I have 7 years no claims.

Driving a 320d msport

I have 3 modifications.
1. Change of rear spoiler.
2. Aftermarket rear lights
3. Aftermarket depo headlights


If you have any recommendations who I can contact for better deals that would be great. As I know not all car insurance company are on gocompare.


Thanks in advance.

If you're a member of the BMW GB Car Club, you get discounts with A-Plan. No Meerkat or Supermarket comparison website comes close. They're sensible with modifications too.

Admiral for me , all interior / exterior and MPPSK mods declared with minimal increase to costs.

They even acknowledged wheel spacers , which some companies wont.

Switched from Admiral to LV in March, saved about £200 over the Admiral renewal quote (Multicar). Chip and Exterior changes all fully declared, also including our Tiguan 230. Admiral wanted 730, LV was 530!

[k755]

+1 as above, changing to LV in Dec from Arriva (multicar)

[Paddy1975]

+1 For A-Plan, great guys, took list of full mods and still managed to reduce the cost after Direct Line said they would insure for £200 more than previous year and then decided no they wouldn't because they didn't recognise a plug and play tuning box

A plan wanted (even with BMW car club membership) 2.5k for my 340i. BMW insurance is 780.

I'm with Admiral currently because they cover mods; was previously with BMW insurance who were very competitive, but unfortunately don't cover mods. Also worth trying a broker like Chris Knott or Brentacre.

My R34 (Skyline) was = £250 (20yrs NCD protected with 3 points)..
My F30 335d = £560
Add remap to 335d = £504
Thats sticking with A-Plan modified scheme....

A-Plan worth a shout, and i get the reasons why more expensive to insure a BM

[Alscoob]

+1 for A plan. Call the Thatcham branch as they deal with insurance for modified cars.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread, new to the forum. My situation is quite strange that I am new into the country and have just managed to get license sorted. I am 36Yrs and planning on getting a F30 330d. any recommendations outside the usual comparision sites to find the cheapest insurance (with no NCD/or providers who recognise non UK NCD).

Insurance industry isn't kind to any sort of 'unusual'. You may struggle. Try the specialist brokers like Adrian Flux Chris Knott or Brentacre etc.

thanks guys will give A-plan and Adrian flux a call

[Spangle]

+1 for Adrian Flux

They were the only insurance company who would insure a Mk.3 Golf with Lambo style doors

[Rathian]

I went Adrian Flux after making modifications to my 320d. I actually saved money through this route with modifications than through a non mod comparison site. Went from around £550 before mods to around £420 with mods.

[steve430dxdrive]

A-plan all the way, told them about my remap and gearbox flash, still way cheaper than others out there

Just out of morbid curiosity, got a picture? I am genuinely stunned that anyone would do such a thing…..

[RENT-A-GOAT]

I would never go Adrian Flux after a terrible experience with them a few years ago on a golf. Had my BM's on LV always good prices and cheaper every renewal, turning 40 & moving to a lower risk area dropped it £200 this year

I'll have a dig around

This was about 15 years ago in my younger care free days

Finally found some of my old ones on FB

Back when MAX POWER Live was a thing to give a time frame

[BIFCAIDS]

Christ!

I'm with Adrian Flux, £630 with all modifications listed, 3 points living between Liverpool and Manchester and not too far from the motorway means you're in a free for all area for car thieves.
