Re: Insurance
£480 with elephant, total excess £250, protected NCB.
Morethan were even cheaper but are a bit unclear about their mods (ie no 19" alloys or strut brace allowed) and european cover.
Trying to get track cover included or as an add on was very difficult as there doesnt seem to be the deals available like there are for the Porsche crowd.
Might move to Aplan when I need to. Their premium was much higher and their normal excess starts at £500.

Re: Insurance
Just to upset you all then...
Renewed with Tesco. They wanted £290 fully comp. protected NCB, £500 excess.
Checked with Swift as per the eallier link and was offered same deal at £210. Tesco could not match it but reduced by £20 and sent me a £50 gift
card (redeemable as in one go and we shop there anyway) Bottom line is it cost £220 just for getting one competitive quote and asking for a discount
I guess that living in Staffs and getting on a bit and driving several cars...

Re: Insurance
Just insured my run about with Swiftcover as was cheapest available, (a very old VW polo).
Looks like the Z4, (2.2i), will be about £350 with them so will def be checking them out at renewal time.

Re: Insurance
That is a good point to consider. Just spoke to swiftcover and providing you have the exact same details on both vehicles (drivers covered, address etc) then you can use the no claims discount on both policies.Gids wrote:I got mine from swiftcover in the end, £630 and they also allow me to use my no-claims on my other car.

Elephant was cheapest for me. ~£800, 4yrs ncb with protected option, 25 year old male, parents both as named drivers.
Social use with 8k mileage per year parked off street.
Most of the boy racer companies didn't want a quote on cars over 15k

Just bought my Z4 on Saturday and ended up going with BMW Insurance - had a quote through elephant.co.uk for £717 for 10 months (bonus accelerator thing), and BMW came in at £770 for 12 months - by far the cheapest for me - had loads of stupid quotes around the 3k mark!

Re: Cheapest Insurance (UK)
Any tried BMW insurance? They were the cheapest for insuring my E46 320 diesel compact. Even the following year they reduced the premium so were still the cheapest. About to call them soon to see what the hit will be to insure the Z4
