Another shout for esure here. CK last year, were also good, but a price bump for the second year got me to ask my other insurer, and CK would not entertain the fact that esure's phone quote was cheaper, they wanted a written quote before going to the current insurer.

I still used CK for my M this time, but only because they're friendly. It's not a particularly great deal, all they did was match my cheapest quote from elsewhere which was around £100 cheaper than their renewal quote. They were a bit useless when I swapped my other car though, I ended up having to cancel a policy 10 months in and have had to use another company for that at just under 1/3 the price CK could get it.

Looks like its going to be esure.

£264 with protected No Claims - 3000 miles per year.

Still seems a bit high for a 50 year old, must be a combination of job and postcode :rofl: Or the black magic they use to calculate the annual premiums. :wink:

Not impressed with £500 excess but told this was standard on the Z4M :x

Did you go online or call them?

What was the difference I premium if you opted for £250 excess ?

You don't know this for a fact because it depends on the post code you're in. It most definitely is NOT cheaper at my address to tell them that my car isn't garaged over night, its even more expensive to tell them it's parked on the road.

I got an online quote via confused.com and then rang to see if I could get the price down further - I failed miserably :headbang:

The £500 excess is compulsory and cannot be reduced. :thumbsdown:

I was told that this was standard on the Z4M

My best quote so far is with Aviva, I've tried Adrian flux with their hard selling of trying to force a commitment within seconds, I won't and never done that. Quote from L.V who want £700 excess and £199 for windscreen excess. No chance of my custom. Waiting to hear from Chris knott, offices only open Monday to Friday, sounds a joke especially as most insurances open over the weekend to even if it a limited time. Also waiting a result from classic car insurance. We shall see, watch this space

I got an online quote of £450 with £150 compulsory excess and zero voluntary from a company called 1st Central. And that's with 15,000 miles a year - anyone else used them before ? I'll be giving them a call this week.
