I just tried to get a quote and it came back saying sorry we can’t provide a quote based on your details! Two non fault claims and no convictions!

That seems a bit meh, sorry you didn't get a good quote.

SteveChester · 02-03-2019, 07:08 AM

Worked out more expensive for my M4 I'm with Esure currently.

allachie9 · 02-03-2019, 07:17 AM

Thanks OP I've just sorted mine out too !

My renewal date is Tuesday and had already organised a new policy, but BMW worked out cheaper, only half the excess and, as has already been said, BMW Approved repairs and bodyshop etc.
I read up the details of the new policy I had already paid for and T&C's confirmed I could have a full refund before the policy started. I've just organised that and now taken out a new BMW Policy.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm due for renewal next month so will have a look.

Currently on multi car policy with Admiral. Wonder how it will compare.

Did anybody get a quote for swapping to winter wheels?

I think the insurance industry has basically said collectively that winter wheels are no longer something to disclose.

Yes, the ABI winter tyre commitment.

Bit ironic really that a car insurance company would ever charge more for something that would reduce the likelihood of you having an accident.

KTE · 02-03-2019, 10:59 AM

Can’t be provided a quote, stopped trying after increasing my age, ncb by 3 years into the future as a test..
A recurring problem to deal with come renewal time.

Wouldnt quote me online, I put in MPPSK and MP Kit.
Will call them closer to my renewal.

RoShambolt · 02-04-2019, 10:40 AM

MP kit and interior trim kit/= no quote for me too. Ridiculous really.

320dAsh · 02-18-2019, 04:50 AM

Second cheapest for me with lower excess and locks and keys included so I've got with BMW insurance. Thanks for the tip.

My pleasure, share the love. Their portal is still down though.

Jack_is_Back · 03-19-2019, 04:33 AM

Another thanks here from me OP.

I was already with BMW, but their renewal quote came through at £685, an increase of £135 over last year, on top of having gone up £100 the year prior.

So I started a new quote and hey presto - £376 - well chuffed with that!

Beancounter_74 · 03-19-2019, 04:57 AM

This thread prompted me to get a quote for my new M140i. eSure were quoting £1,100 with £750 excess (I'm 45 ffs), BMW £480 with £150 excess.
Very happy with that

I got a really good quote, started to try and add mods.. said the same - give them a call, I was told they only insure mods that have been fitted at an approved dealer

lethbridge · 03-19-2019, 05:53 AM

My insurance is up for renewal so I thought I'd try deviating from my norm which is to use comparison sites... Once again, a waste of time, no mods but BMW wouldn't quote online (can't remember the last time an insurer wouldn't even quote!) Just don't get why not - my current premium is under £450 on a brand new M3 with business miles etc, so that should say something about the risk I'm considered... Glad it is working for some though...

bobo13 · 03-19-2019, 06:14 AM

Just renewed with BMW.

Esure was quoting me £1400. With £500 Excess
BMW want £650 with £150 Excess.

No Brainer!

Dr Forinor · 03-19-2019, 06:20 AM

They came out £100 more expensive for me.
